WCPO I-Team: Warehouses not required to offer storm shelters

WCPO's I-Team turned to a University of Cincinnati construction expert to explain how commercial construction standards measure up against deadly storms like last week's tornadoes that killed factory and warehouse workers.

Tornadoes swept across the Midwest on Friday, killing more than 90 people in Kentucky and Illinois. Six people were killed at a warehouse in Illinois while another eight people died at a candle factory in Kentucky.
