I think I would call a lawyer about that.  Act of God or not, your 
neighbor could still be liable under the theory of negligence.  He 
left an item outside, unsecured, that had the potential to become 
a hazard.  A couple screw-in anchors and lengths of chain would 
most likely have prevented the damage.
