Death toll rises to 22 in Florida condo collapse
SURFSIDE, Fla. — Crews looking for survivors in the rubble of a condo that collapsed outside Miami last week found more bodies on Friday, raising the number of confirmed deaths to 22 as 126 people remain missing.
Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava said she has signed off on the demolition of the part of the building that remains standing because it poses a threat to public health and safety, although no date has yet been set for the demolition. The top priority remains search and rescue, she said.
Earlier Friday Surfside Mayor Charles Burkett worried that Hurricane Elsa, which forecasters say could hit south Florida with heavy rains, strong winds, tornadoes and storm surge in coming days, could "demolish it for us."
"And if that happens – and it just happens to blow it the wrong direction – it could be a mess of immense proportion," he said.
