Eastbound 96th street is currently backed up from Biscayne Blvd. to A1A. We suggest that persons wishing to enter the area go north to 163 Street and head east from there. There is a checkpoint on A1A to enter Surfside. Only persons who live in this area will be allowed to enter. A photo ID showing place of residence is required. Please do not attempt to enter Surfside if you do not have the proper ID. You will only create additional backups. Thank you for your cooperation and please have a safe day.

(This seems accurate, it's currently 40 minutes plus to enter Surfside from any direction, and from the south it's closed.

I assume this is because of overcrowding near the site and to prevent the need for major crowd control, but I don't know.)

Per my relatives (first degree of those buried under the rubble):
They are switching the search and rescue from the center to work from the outside in. They hear some kind of sounds and feel this is still a search and resc operation.
Keep Davening!

The lawyers are hungry... Just got this ad online from the auto ads, geotargeted I'm sure:

Pretty sickening, thinking of calling them and letting them know how wrong it is, while my neighbors are still buried in rubble to geo target this ad...

ETA: And more

Was smoky for the first few days, but fine since they got the fires under control shabbos afternoon. Houses closer than me were covered in smoke for a couple days.

Are they worried about asbestos or the like ?
