At a Nov. 4 special meeting the Surfside Beach Town Council adopted a package of changes to its tree preservation ordinance: it kept the planning commission's either/or retention approach, approved a three-tier penalty schedule, confirmed 24" landmark status for select oaks, narrowed automatic removal exemptions near structures, and tightened mitigation wording.

The town expects the work to wrap up by the end of the week. Town Hall's front office also closes for an hour Thursday morning.

The beachfront project raised the dunes, added sand 'diverter' mounds at gaps and replanted native vegetation, the town says.

In the early hours of June 24, 2021, a massive portion of Champlain Towers South in Surfside, Florida, suddenly collapsed while residents slept inside. Within seconds, an ordinary night turned into one of the deadliest structural building failures in modern American history. But this disaster didn't necessarily happen without warning. In the years leading up to the collapse, concerns had been raised about structural deterioration, concrete damage, water intrusion, and the building's overall condition. So what went wrong? Were warning signs ignored? Could something have been done to prevent the catastrophe? And how did a seemingly ordinary residential building become the site of such an unimaginable tragedy? We examine the building's history, the documented warnings, the engineering failures, and the investigations that followed. Because sometimes the most disturbing part of a disaster isn't just how it happened, but whether it could have been prevented.
