Search and rescue efforts at the site of a Florida condo building collapse have grown even more urgent as a tropical storm barrels toward the state, threatening to challenge crews with downpours and the possibility of tornadoes.
"We're now at 100% full strength, full-on pulling everybody out of that rubble pile." Surfside Mayor Charles Burkett told CNN. Tropical Storm Elsa has not hit Florida at full force yet, but the rain has begun falling. Despite the weather conditions, responders onsite were seen putting on biohazard suits and continuing the search.More Related News
