And no "Winter" does not count as a natural disaster.

The entire east coast is in a hurricane belt, as are the gulf states.

The New Madrid fault line puts much of the East-Central U.S. in its sights. California is a complete disaster just waiting to happen. The flood zones of the Mississippi and the tornado regions all across the country, the 'supervolcano' region of Yosemite, the volcanic islands that are Hawaii, etc....

Nowhere is safe. It's all a matter of when, not if. The insurance is meaningless. In the geological end, nobody's getting out alive.

Short answer is because Insurance companies keep paying out. If insurance stops paying or puts restrictions on what they will cover people will stop rebuilding or building in those areas. Those areas should be considered inhabitable.

Or just jack up there rates. The insurance industry in Florida all but collapsed after Hurricane Andrew. So many insurers left the state and insurance rates really want up afterwards. Iirc, the state took over some of the industry because so many left.

If the building was up to code, I don't see how she has a case.

This is over two year old; I'm sure the number is larger now.

The dynamite technology is not in Joplin, try Carthage. Your welcome.

And even that is not technology. That is just where it is assembled. All the material is made then sent to Carthage to be put together as dynamite.

Howard's wife, Edie Housel, filed the lawsuit saying Home Depot has a duty to provide a reasonably safe structure.

Home Depot does NOT have a responsibility to supply a class 4 tornado proof structure.

sorry, but the dumb bitch needs to just shut up and mourn like the rest are

This lady hid her entire family in the screwdriver and claw hammer aisle of a hardware store during an F5 and wants them to pay?

Shooting a 2x4 through a brick wall at 200 mph.

The last is the reinforced brick. It does not go through.

All kinds of videos like this and the new safe rooms that can be built-for a price.

That's not protecting shit if the building takes a direct hit.

I was in Joplin right after the storm. It cleared the earth like a road grader- even the solid concrete structures were destroyed.

I feel bad for the victims-but this should have been thrown out of court long ago.
