Interior camera captured the moment a massive boulder smashed through a Honolulu home

(Video has audio.) (The area is north of Diamond Head.)

 
KITV:

According to the Honolulu Police Department, the boulder appeared to have plowed through the property's cinderblock wall, struck the family's car, rammed through a glass door, across the living room floor and into another wall before landing in a bedroom on the second story of the Palolo Avenue home.

KHON:

Community members are raising concerns about a development next door that excavated the mountain.

They said there were no boulders rolling down the valley before the development, and they have now experienced three boulders coming down in the last 24 hours.

My two resident crows have learnt that when the cat mews at the kitchen door, I come out to feed him, and they get the scraps. So they have learnt how to mew also. It is EERIE (and hilarious). https://t.co/sBL1owJaPm
