Initial disappointment at condo collapse site after building's demolition
CBSN
Surfside, Florida — A ramped-up rescue effort at the collapsed South Florida condominium building faced new threats from the weather Tuesday even though a tropical storm approaching the state wasn't expected to have significant impact. And there was initial discouraging word from rescuers in the wake of Sunday's demolition of the part of the building that didn't come down in the initial collapse.
On Monday, lightning forced crews to pause the search for victims of the June 24 collapse in Surfside, and a garage area in the rubble filled with water, officials said. The latest forecasts showed Tropical Storm Elsa moving westward, mostly sparing South Florida.More Related News
Days off do not exist for Katie Ledecky. "I swim nine to ten times a week, for two hours at a time," she said. By her own estimate, Ledecky swims up to 70,000 meters – roughly 43 miles – each week, as she gears up for the Paris Olympics next month. And if that isn't enough, after hitting the pool, she hits the weights.
