Tonight 99 souls are listed as unaccounted for officially. Theres been one fatality. Crews have been on the scene for almost 24 hours now using extrication tools, their hands, search dogs, microphones. Earlier today a boy who was trapped in the debris was pulled out alive. For the very latest, were joined tonight by telephone by charles briquette, the mayor of surfside, florida. Joining us by telephone, because the weather has turned so suddenly severe, we cant get a tv signal out of there, which also means think of the underground rescue effort and how that will be slowed down and hampered by rainfall. Mr. Mayor, ive been watching you on television all day. I think were pretty close to the same age. When i woke up this morning, saw the pictures in your town, i thought of the Marine Barracks bombing. I thought of oklahoma city. And then ive seen your comment all day long.
