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.

Everybody sue everybody!

Cuz all that money will surely take the place of her lost family.

This is part of why I never want to live in that stupid town.

Sorry J Diddy. Joplin sucks ass.

Such bullshit.

It's a ****ing hardware store, not a storm shelter.

Surprised they aren't suing mother nature.

Ban Tornadoes

Every structure in the world should be built to withstand an F5 tornado, it's common sense.

She will probably win because they will be able to find some design/engineering flaw, not matter how minor.

That's why Lowe's is my tornado shelter of choice.

From a buddy of mine, " it looked like a scene from Saw or a Hannibal Lector movie" concerning what was left after.

Still waiting for them to produce a reasonably competent employee.

How are they going to find the flaw?

No it didn't, it looked like a tornado ripped through there and people died.
