RACHEL MARTIN, HOST:
The results of the search thus far have been grim. Searchers found another body yesterday, bringing the confirmed death toll to 11. There are still 150 people missing.
KING: NPR s Jasmine Garsd is in Miami Beach. Good morning, Jasmine.
JASMINE GARSD, BYLINE: Good morning.
KING: On day six, what is the mood like there?
GARSD: Well, there is a mix of optimism and hope. You hear it all day long from local officials and search crews. But at the same time, you also sense that reality is setting in for some people. As you say, there are about 150 people that are, quote, unaccounted for. Complicating the search efforts are thunderstorms and stifling heat. At a press conference last night, Chairman of the Miami-Dade County Commission Jose Pepe Diaz thanked all of the rescue teams from around the state, as well as crews from Israel and Mexico that have come to assist.
