Florida condo collapse: Officials eye tropical forecast amid ongoing search
SURFSIDE, Fla. - The possibility of severe weather in the coming days prompted Florida officials to ask for an additional rescue team to help in the search for those unaccounted for following the collapse of a beachside condo tower. Kevin Guthrie of the Florida Division of Emergency Management said officials asked the federal government for the additional team, which would likely come from Virginia, amid two disorganized storm systems in the Atlantic.The new team would be on hand if severe storms hit the area in the coming days and would allow crews that have been working feverishly to rotate out.
