A house that collapsed in Florida to be destroyed as a hurricane approached | Weather News

Two more bodies have been recovered from the rubble of a 12-story house near Miami, which collapsed slightly last month.

The remains of a 12-storey building in southern Florida that collapsed in the middle of the night last month will be destroyed Sunday, officials said, as a typhoon is expected to tear down the building.

Two more bodies were removed from the mud of Champlain Towers South in Surfside, near Miami, on Saturday, to bring the officer death toll to 24. Search and rescue operations continued as 124 people were still present when the tower collapsed.

Miami-Dade Fire Chief Alan Cominsky told reporters that the demolition of the remaining towers should be done as soon as possible because Hurricane Elsa expected to arrive in southern Florida from Monday.

“We can’t control where you fall,” he said.

Elsa was evacuated on Saturday from the 1st hurricane 1 to Hurricane 110kph (70 mph) as it passed through the Dominican Republic and Haiti.

The long-term forecast for the future showed that it was heading for Florida as a tropical storm by Tuesday morning, although some species could take it to the Gulf or upstream in the Atlantic Ocean. Climatic officials have warned of heavy rains and hurricanes in the Miami area.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis said the house in Surfside is “shaken” and “meaningless” and demolished is the smart thing to do.

“If this building is removed, this will protect our search and rescue teams, because we do not know when it will fall,” DeSantis told a news conference. “And, obviously, it is these scams, which can pose serious risks.”

County Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava has signed a demolition order and it will take place shortly after Sunday, authorities say.

“We really want this to happen in the storm,” Levine Cava said. “Yes, we are concerned that a strong hurricane could disrupt the stability of the building.”

Firefighters say the house will be cleared properly using explosive cases, not destructive rubber or other means. Contractors were visiting the site on Saturday to make plans, officials said.

It is not clear what caused the building to collapse last month, however researchers have found evidence of water damage and malignant inflammation of the homeowners’ organization is said to have cost $ 15m to repair.

The president of Champlain Towers South housing agency told residents in April that their home was in dire need of solutions to housing problems, the Wall Street Journal reported this week.

The 2018 report released for the house also shows that it is an engineer he found evidence of great damage at the bottom of the pool pool and “concrete damage” in the condom subway car.

The engineer, Frank Morabito, warned that the adhesive that is being placed under the pool has failed due to a serious manufacturing error.
