The jolt came when Janette Aguero was in her pyjamas.
It was about 1.20am in Surfside Florida, where she, her husband Albert and their two children were midway through a family holiday, staying at her in-laws flat on the 11th floor of the Champlain Towers South.
She and Albert woke up to quaking walls, the chandelier dancing violently from the ceiling, and what sounded like a freight train flying by their room. I hear my son screaming in the living room what the hell is going on , she said.
Other residents in the small seaside town, a stone s throw from Miami, would later say they heard a boom. Some assumed the noise was thunder, a sign of summer in southern Florida. It was a hot and humid night, the dark sky smudged with passing clouds.
