The residents probably couldn’t figure out why their animals were freaking out...
Hearsay? Good Lord! She was speaking to her son. That’s rather reliable “hearsay” don’t you think?
It is possible these noises had been going on for a while. Here and there. But once the structure decided it had enough the creaking must have gotten loud enough 24 hours or so beforehand to wake up this poor woman. We will probably never know how many others may have heard the same and dismissed it.
I’m wondering if more and more of these accounts....of family members/friends telling others about these strange noises.
Also....maybe some of them even recorded these sounds.
Or, perhaps their security systems (or the building’s) recorded the sounds/sights, taking place, beforehand.
Prayers, for all.
She is missing because....

Florida’s Atlantic Coast is a very corrosive environment. Post-tension cables give way all of the time if not properly done. I lived in a building where one let go and it burst through the concrete slab at points like a sine wave. And it was like a thunder-clap. I don’t know how many would have to let go to facilitate a collapse. I would not be surprised to learn this was the cause.

I “saw” the Skyline Towers collapse in Northern Virginia. I was sitting in a McDonald’s just down from Bailey’s Crossroads and where Skyline center now is and my High School girly-friend was working at the McDonald’s and was washing the windows from the inside and she let out this gasp, when I looked up from my mag there was a big cloud of dust forming and I saw the building right at the tail end of his collapse.
But that was a construction accident(green cement) not a residential building collapse. There were a number of workers who were buried in the parking lot as it was around lunch break for them.

Reportedly, this structure was built 40 or so years ago. This was during a building boom, that may well have allowed substandard structures to be built, too close to the shore and upon unstable sand. If this is the case, how many other buildings of any size where similarly built, and what will be done about them now.
This has the potential to create a controversy similar to the Seoul Shopping Mall disaster, the Sampoong Department Store collapse of 1995. Bad construction, building inspectors either negligent or compromised, and a complacent public led to more than 500 people dying in that terrible event. DeSantis seems to be getting out ahead of this, and I would guess at the least he will commission a commission to investigate this disaster. What else?

Why call someone? Get out of there. People are way too trusting.
Distressing to learn that the tower on the east side went down ten seconds after the center segment went down. Many will be worried that one section is needed to stabilize other parts that can’t stand by themselves.

What Are Threshold Building Inspectors?
Is this what the 2018 report was regarding, or something else?
It would be interesting to see all the city and county paperwork on this building...
