Fox News
Search and rescue teams are currently battling weather and small fires as they comb through the massive pile of rubble that resulted from a 12-story beachfront condo's collapse early Thursday morning, leaving roughly 160 people still unaccounted for as of Friday afternoon.
Families of those who are unaccounted for are not giving up hope. Rachel Spiegel said her parents had lived in the apartment building for about 4 ½ years, and her dad was traveling during the collapse but her mom was in the condo. "We’re just praying and hoping for a miracle. My mom means everything to me and I need her in my life," Spiegel told Fox News' Martha Maccallum on Friday afternoon. "This is my dad's and my worst nightmare. My daughter's favorite person in the world is my mom."
