I'd also like to hear thoughts concerning this issue.

It's a chicken and egg situation. My hunch is to say "yes". But you have to clarify your situation as soon as it is possible to do so.

It is clearly the fault of the design of the online application. The company could have been more specific, but since they aren't, they are the ones taking a chance. OP is justified in saying yes, since he will be OK provided he gets an offer. And if he doesn't get an offer, who cares?

fwiw, my problem isn't with U.S. citizenship. The question was: "do you have experience with catastrophe modeling?". It's an entry level position, so I don't see how many (if any) applicants will have experience here.

I said no. I haven't heard anything. I think I'll contact them in the next few days.

I think your time spent in the Cirque Lodge is first-hand experience in catastrophe modeling.
Always try to turn your negatives into positives.

You definitely wouldn't want to have said "yes" to that. A yes answer, especially at entry level, would catch the eye, and if you weren't prepared in an interview to back it up with something (such as an internship at RMS), that would be a definite black mark.
