A party Saturday at a Key Biscayne, Fla., house built in the middle of a bay broke up - literally - when the structure collapsed during a thunderstorm. Nine people were taken by boat to a Miami hospital with minor injuries. The unusual house is one of eight remaining that were built in the 1950s atop wooden stilts. The roof and floor of the house buckled soon after about 150 people rushed inside to escape a thunderstorm and began dancing. Many dived out of windows to avoid being crushed. The surrounding water is less than 5 feet deep.
