If the boulder that crashed into the front end of Josephine Hanta’s Honda Odyssey on Saturday morning had careened down the mountainside on a weekday, she said it likely would have plowed right into her family’s Kuliouou condominium.

"If I was gone at work, because I usually leave at 6 (a.m.), then it would have probably like went in (the house)," Hanta said.

Residents of the Haleloa II apartment complex said a neighbor was walking his dog around 6:30 a.m. when the boulder came loose above 430 Haleloa Place in Kuliouou.

"He was here when he heard all the rumbling going on and he looked up and this boulder came down," said James Hoshino, a resident on the other side of the complex.

Hoshino explained that the boulder rolled over the top of the chain-link fence, bounced on the pavement, leaving about a 2-foot-by-6-inch crack, and crashed on top of Hanta’s Odyssey. Then it broke loose a wooden support pole in the carport on its way to destroying the back end of an adjacent Toyota Corolla, and settled on the ground behind the Corolla.

Fire Capt. Carlton Yamada said firefighters helped shore up the posts to stabilize the carport, and no one was injured.

Hanta said a crew broke up the boulder around noon to prepare it for removal.

Fire officials estimated the damage to the Honda at $20,000, the Toyota at $8,000, and $2,000 to the posts and a beam in the carport. Hill Hanta, Josephine Hanta’s husband, said the family has not yet received a damage estimate from its insurance company.

The city on Thursday released a report identifying rockfall hazards to city property and has sent warning letters to about 1,000 private property owners that their land is at high risk of sustaining rockfall damage. A search of that report did not turn up the Haleloa Place location.

Yamada said the area from which the boulder came likely is the property of the association of apartment owners, but it will investigate further.

Residents anticipate a survey will be conducted to determine if there are more loose rocks and what can be done to better secure the area.

Hill Hanta said he woke up just in time to hear the boulder crash into the family van.

"It was so quiet, right? And then you hear it getting louder, louder, and it was like more of a thump and dushk, dushk, dushk."

Hill Hanta said he could also feel the boulder bouncing down the mountainside.

He said, "I came running out and I was like, ‘Oh, my God, look at the damage.’"

Hoshino said he has lived in the complex since 1991 and is aware of three rockfalls since the complex began housing residents in 1976.
