A 5-foot boulder barreled through a Palolo Valley home in Hawaii, just barely missing a woman.
Caroline Sasaki was walking into her living room when the giant boulder came crashing through a cinder block wall outside her house and scraping her family’s car before plowing through her living room and into a bedroom at around 11:45 p.m. on Sunday evening.
Security camera footage of the shocking incident shows Sasaki only a few feet away when the boulder barrels right past her.
“I heard the loud boom, and apparently, the boulder passed right in front of me, which I didn't know,” Sasaki told Hawaii News Now. “I didn't see it. All I heard was the boom and then somebody asking me if I was okay.”
