We’ve all been shocked and horrified at the images of the collapsed condominium tower in Surfside, Fla.
I want to take a moment to honor the heroes who have emergedĀ from the rubble as firefighters, police, military personnel and civilians search for survivors.
We keep hearing stories of men and women hearing voices from deep inside the wreckage of the building.
To be sure, with 159 people unaccounted for, I dread the prospect that awaits the loved ones waiting and hoping for miracles to present themselves.
President Biden has pledged the federal government’s full support. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is delivering all he can as well to assist the stricken community. There apparently are many questions to answer, such as those dealing with known structural deficiencies in the condo. So help me I have never heard of an U.S.-built structure such as this one just collapse under its own weight.
However, the heroes have emerged and will continue to emerge as the search goes on for those who trapped under the mountain of rubble. I am going to offer a prayer, as well, for the suffering community.
