   On June 24, 2021, at approximately 1:22 a.m. EDT,[a] Champlain Towers South,   
   a 12-story beachfront condominium in the Miami suburb of Surfside, Florida,   
   United States, partially collapsed, causing the deaths of 98 people. Four   
   people were rescued from the rubble, but one died of injuries shortly after   
   arriving at the hospital.[9] Eleven others were injured.[10] Approximately   
   thirty-five were rescued the same day from the un-collapsed portion of the   
   building,[11] which was demolished ten days later.

   The Davenport (Davenport, Iowa) partially collapsed, calling the building's   
   future into question. The back part of the building, which had been painted   
   red several years before, had a 6 story collapse causing millions of dollars   
   in damage.[7] Complaints had been made by residents which had led to brick   
   work and other repairs being made to the structure. At the time of the   
   collapse repair work was under way, but the brick work had been completed and   
   deemed structurally sound by an outside engineer. Additional damage had   
   occurred to the building after a derecho in August 2020, which had resulted   
   in some residents having to evacuate the building.

   CONROE, Texas — Two people were killed and at least seven others were injured   
   after a building collapsed in a suburban Houston city on Tuesday.   
      
   According to Mike Legoudes, Conroe’s assistant fire chief, the building,   
   which was under construction, collapsed near the Ladera Creek Trace   
   subdivision in Conroe at about 3 p.m. CDT, KPRC-TV reported.   
      
   The structure collapsed as the areas north of Houston were under severe storm   
   warnings as a fast-moving system rolled through the area, the Houston   
   Chronicle reported. Officials were unable to confirm whether the home   
   collapsed due to the storm or a possible tornado, according to the newspaper.   
      
   The National Weather Service warned that the system was capable of producing   
   wind gusts up to 70 mph and possible hail, the Chronicle reported.   
      
   Authorities told KRIV-TV that the victims were believed to be construction   
   workers at the site.   
      
   The injured victims were taken to an area hospital, KTRK-TV reported.   
   Authorities have not released their conditions.   
      
   Authorities said that at least one other building collapsed in the same area,   
   but there was no one inside the structure, the Chronicle reported.
