1Opinion of the Court

KING, Circuit Judge:

Six Flags, Inc. appeals the district court’s order granting summary judgment in favor of seven of its property insurers. The parties primarily contest whether a sublimit in the relevant insurance policies that applies “as respects Flood” limits the insurers’ liability for loss and damage at Six Flags’s New Orleans theme park that resulted from flooding associated with Hurricane Katrina.
