HAWAI'I KAI — Boulders rolled down a hillside and struck a condominium and several vehicles on Hawai'i Kai Drive shortly after 8 p.m. today, according to Capt. Richard Soo, spokesman for the Honolulu Fire Department.

One boulder hit the window of a condo at 7168 Hawai'i Kai Drive, where a man and woman were at home, and the largest boulder — bigger than the 5-ton boulder that killed a Nu'uanu woman in August — struck their two vehicles, said Soo.

No injuries were reported, but four units were evacuated, said Soo.
