Woman who lost her family in 2011 Joplin Tornado is suing Home Depot
Does Home Depot have a responsibility to provide a "reasonably safe" structure?
http://www.koamtv.com/story/25958787...ing-home-depot A woman who lost her husband and two children in the Joplin Tornado on May 22, 2011 is suing Home Depot. Russell Howard and his two children were taking refuge from the storm in the Home Depot when the tornado hit the store. Russell Howard, his five-year-old daughter Harlie, and one year old son Hayze, died in the store. Howard's wife, Edie Housel, filed the lawsuit saying Home Depot has a duty to provide a reasonably safe structure. Attorneys for company say their deaths were an act of god. The suit is filed with the Missouri Supreme court, the amount of damages sought is not made public, except for the fact that the amount is more than $25,000. |

Ya, let's use a store that has hanging saw blades, loose lumber, etc as a tornado shelter.
I feel bad for her, but come on. |

I feel sorry for her too.
But with the magnitude of that tornado, No man made structure is built to stand a chance. They have storm shelters, but not basements. I don't see how home depot, the developer or the builder is liable. Underground was the only way to survive. This will be settled out of court.

What's the definition of "reasonably safe"? The word reason is in there, which is something this woman obviously lacks.

There's a tornado coming. Quick, let's take shelter in that cheaply constructed building full of power tools and lumber!
