Galveston's Home Depot to RTeOpen

Galveston County Daily News reports that the Home depot that collapsed will be reopened, but there is no promise of when we can expect this to hapen.
Although The Home Depot has begun rebuilding its island store, the retailer said it still doesn’t know what caused the roof and several 30-ton wall panels to tumble during a severe thunderstorm late last month.

But if the home improvement giant uncovers the cause of the bizarre collapse at its store in the 6500 block of Interstate 45, will it tell the community?

“It’s too early to say,” said spokesman Jonathan Guerin.

Whether a private company such as The Home Depot is required to divulge its findings to the city also is unclear. Some city officials said they would have to review codes before answering.

Nearly two weeks after the roof failed, The Home Depot said it has learned little about the cause.

Its disturbing though that apparently no one knows why the store collapsed. If no one knows whey, we can't be assured its not going to happen again, maybe while there are customers throughout the store.
