Two more bodies have been pulled from the collapsed condominium building in Surfside, Florida, bringing the official death toll to 22, with 126 unaccounted for. The mayor signed an emergency order to demolish the remaining structures. 

The body of a 7-year-old girl was recovered from the site in Florida late Thursday. The victim was the daughter of a Miami firefighter who was a rescue worker at the site. His teammates reportedly found her body and brought him to her. 

Photos of the missing are being added to a memorial near the partially collapsed 12-story condo building. Authorities are monitoring a possible approaching tropical storm headed there.

Another condo building in North Miami Beach is being closed and evacuated following an inspection. Audits were ordered on buildings in the area built 40 years ago and 6 stories or higher following the collapse in Surfside.
