(I'm not going to call it a "boat" or an "ark" as it is a BUILDING made in the shape of a large boat. If that thing is a boat, then my lawnmower is a Concorde.)

From the article you linked;

Ark Encounter, which unveiled the 510-foot-long model in 2016, says that heavy rains in 2017 and 2018 caused a landslide on its access road, and its five insurance carriers refused to cover nearly $1 million in damages.

In a 77-page lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court, Ark Encounter asks for compensatory and punitive damages.

The ark itself was not damaged and the road has been rebuilt, according to the suit.
