Collapsed Florida condo to be leveled late Sunday

The partially collapsed Miami-area condo where 24 people are confirmed dead will be demolished on Sunday night, officials said.

This report produced by Chris Dignam.

The partially collapsed condo in Surfside, Florida, was scheduled to be demolished late Sunday night, ahead of the possible arrival of Tropical Storm Elsa.

MIAMI-DADE COUNTY MAYOR DANIELLA LEVINE CAVA: "The demolition will take place tonight between 10 p.m.

And 3 a.m." Miami-Dade county Mayor Daniella Levine Cava said the search-and-rescue efforts for the 121 people who are still missing would resume immediately, after being suspended to prepare for the demolition.

LEVINE CAVA: "As soon as the building is down and once the site is deemed secure, we will have our first responders back on the pile to immediately resume their work." A Paraguayan family flew out to Miami over the weekend in search of Leidy Luna, who they believe disappeared in the rubble, her mother desperate for news of her only daughter.

Luna, a nurse, went to Miami with the sister-in-law of Paraguay's president and her husband to help care for their three children.

The entire family is still missing.

Meanwhile, Tropical Storm Elsa churned toward Florida.

Strong winds and heavy rain lashed Cuba on Sunday, after pummeling Jamaica and the Dominican Republic, where two people were killed by the storm.

The storm was forecast to approach western Florida on Tuesday or Wednesday.

All residents of another building in North Miami Beach were told last week to leave immediately after engineers found serious concrete and electrical problems. Local officials said the move was considered urgent because of the approach of Elsa.
