i spoke to one couple from new york who said this reminded them a lot of 9/11 as they watched the rescuers rescue crews continue to just dig and dig. and i, also, spoke to some people who say that, when that building was demolished, it took some hope, along with it. while others say, that that s exactly what they needed to be able to start moving forward. leyla santiago, cnn, surfside, florida. joining me now is matisse levi, a consulting engineer and professor at columbia university. he is also the author of why buildings fall down: how structures fail. again, thank you for being with us, mr. levee. and yeah, the title of the book, especially, intriguing to so many people right now. listen. we ve had some, new information come out, in recent days, about how, perhaps, this building might have fallen down so catastrophically. have you been able to glean any information from new
matisse, thanks so much for your expertise. appreciate it. you re very welcome. now, of course, earlier, we were talking about tropical storm elsa and it s already delayed search-and-rescue crews in surfside. for more on when and where the storm is set to make landfall in florida, want to bring in meteorologist tyler mauldin. this is an interesting storm in the fact that perhaps it s moved further away from surfside. but the winds, alone, could cause trouble. it s a very lopsided system and it s very much loaded on the eastern or right side. and what s on the right side of the system? well, that s going to be the peninsula florida and in surfside. we we should expect some gusty, stormy squalls to push through on tuesday. and then, once we get to wednesday and thursday, is back to the normal south florida rainy-season weather. we do have showers and thunderstorms, pushing through south florida right now. and that s directly related to to elsa. we have one baund push through.
