Home surveillance footage from a resident of the partially collapsed 12-story condo building in Surfside, Florida shows the chilling moments before the structure came crashing down.
Rosie Santana was thankfully not at her family's two-bedroom condo on the 7th floor of the Champlain Towers South when a massive section of the building collapsed early Thursday, but her motion-activated camera recorded some debris as it initally rained down inside.
"I am a resident of one of the condos on the side of the collapse," Santana said in a tweet in which she posted the 13-second footage just hours after the 1:30 a.m. Thursday disaster.

"This is a video from my camera footage inside from the start of the collapse until the [loss] of connection (I was away from the building today). Towards the end, you hear the structure failing," she wrote.
The dramatic footage shows debris dropping down from the ceiling inside her living room.
Santana told CNN that her condo "was one of the ones that collapsed, like... it's just dust, there's no hope for it basically."
"It's basically a vacation home that we use, but I've been there for the past 3 weeks and I just happened to leave yesterday," Santana told the news outlet.
Officials said Friday that the death toll from the building collapse outside of Miami has now risen to four with 159 people unaccounted for.
