force majeure may not cover you even in the case of hurricanes.

the idea is that force majeure is for things that you could not forsee, could not plan for, and could not stop even if you were aware.

if your company sets up shop in a hurricane prone area but then fails to keep servers in other colo / cloud locations -- and then goes down cuz a hurricane inevitably hits Florida, you absolutely can get sued and lose.
