Home Depot, the Atlanta-based building supply giant, faces a wrongful death lawsuit over eight people dying inside its store when a 200-mph tornado carved a path estimated as a mile wide and six miles long through Joplin, Mo., in 2011.
The storm lifted the steel-truss roof from Home Depot, at 3110 E. 20th St., causing 63 concrete tilt-up building panels to topple.
