The problem here appears to be the striking down of the concurrent cause clause, which was designed precisely to avoid this sort of indeterminancy problem. Senter appears to be holding that the plaintiffs met their burden of proof that there was wind simply by showing there was a hurricane, and that the insurer has the burden to show that there was a flood. But there was a flood, so I don't begin to understand why the fact of the flood doesn't swing the burden right back to the plaintiff, and require a directed verdict in the other direction under Senter's reasoning. Especially since there was more than circumstantial evidence that the hurricane winds didn't cause the house to explode.
