| 0:00.0 | Today is Wednesday, June 30th, what to know about a warning sent to condo residents in Florida |
| 0:05.6 | just a couple months before their building collapsed. Also, as if the brutal heat wasn't bad enough |
| 0:10.8 | on its own, the Western U.S. is now dealing with blackouts and wildfires. Plus, a new tool that |

| 1:26.4 | found major structural damage in the building. Well, the more recent letter said, |
| 1:31.2 | since that inspection, things had only gotten worse. It said a lot of work could have been done |
