If your grounded Blanik is insured for storage only, and a tree

Would it be the market value pre grounding or the current scrap

they would probably pay whatever the insured value is


Their usual options are repairing it, replacing it, or giving you money.
They tend to pick the cheapest option. If it's insured for a high value,
they would probably replace it with one just like it, which they can
probably buy very cheaply.

Typically, you should insure it for the replacement cost.
