Does travel insurance cover weather delays?

I'm about to get a policy from Berkshire Hathaway Travel Protection. If a severe thunderstorm results in a 14-hour flight delay, would they pay for additional hotel and meal expenses? What's their policy on minimum delay times for claims?

When it comes to travel delays, Berkshire Hathaway Travel Insurance covers not only your flight delays but also your hotel and meal expenses. While selecting for the policy, check for the policy with specific delay time and coverage limits; often, they require a 5–12 hour wait.

@Mark Okay, how helpful is the policy if it only kicks in after a 5 to 12-hour wait? What about those shorter delays that still cause problems and extra costs?
