Everything suggests that they will be moving from rescue to recovery.
The sad truth is that it will be very hard to identify the deceased.

1. I heard this on CNN

I can't imagine what the surviving family members and friends are feeling right now.

[dawg day]

2. I know-- it's unspeakable, really.

Remember how little was left after 9/11 to identify most.

Are they evacuating the other buildings?

[mucifer]

3. They did evacuate nearby buildings right after it happened.

[malaise]

4. Look their governor doesn't even want masks for Covid n/t

[dawg day]

8. He's way too busy banning history lessons about the badness of slavery--

to worry about collapses and pandemics. Priorities!

[malaise]

9. Nailed it

hi:

[malaise]

7. I'd better be ready

because the hurricanes don't give a shit

Three more bodies found and more human remains as well.

10. The fires were the final nail

[malaise]

11. Arrogance and greed always kill

Just wait for the details to be exposed

12. My sis has a condo further north in New Smyrna

Right on the beach. They rented each late spring in the same place for 20 years. They bought there because the place was built in the 70s and is solid as a rock so they feel safe.

Still, in the last several years, the erosion on the beach has been astounding. All these other places that have no sea walls and no dunes? Their oceanfront is quite rapidly going away. The stairways to the beach now have no purchase and are dangling. The county or whoever trucks in tons of sand to try to shore it all up and a January storm hits and it all washes away.

I have a photo from there, taken by my SIL (brother's wife - we'd all spend a week there when the kids were growing up). My son and nephew, about 10, now both 24, jumping off the seawall onto the beach. It's a view from the back, as the sun sets. A gorgeous photo.

If kids tried that now, they'd break several bones. The distance from the top of the seawall to the beach has dropped by what looks like several feet.

14. We used to go to a nice beach in St Catherine every weekend (Hellshire)

for decades - the beach was so wide some folks played football. others played cricket, some jogged or walked and others lay on beach chairs taking in the sun and then there was the lovely warm water. Now there are rocks - almost all the sand is gone.. The erosion is frightening. The water is now near where the vendors cooked that lovely seafood. We don't go there anymore - it's too painful.
Thankfully there are no high rise buildings to collapse

[mcar]

15. It's so sad

Further north a couple miles up that beach, there are still lovely dunes keeping things safe. But, that's the driving part of the beach.

We are, as a species, basically idiots.

[SoCalDavidS]

16. "We Are, As A Species, Basically Idiots"

The last 16 months have demonstrated that fact in spades!

[Deminpenn]

13. That collapse, it looked like one of those planned

demolitions where the building just falls in on itself.
