They're moving! Cars parked in Baltimore's Charles Village neighborhood are seen tilted and shifting
* 19 homes have been evacuated and residents may have to stay out of their homes for up to 40 days
* Residents said they complained in the past but were told area is safe
A new video has emerged, showing the collapse of a Baltimore street on Wednesday.
Taken in the city's Charles Village neighborhood, onlookers are heard screaming 'It's moving' and 'Oh my God' as multiple parked cars - as well as CSX railroad tracks behind them - fall on East 26th Street. A light pole and nearby trees are also captured plummeting.
A deafening noise is heard in the video as water surges in the wake of the crash. No injuries were reported.
Residents may have to be kept out of their homes for up to 40 days, officials said.
19 homes have been evacuated, WJZ reports, and says gas, water and waste services have been shut down.
Though Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake spokesman Kevin Harris said on Thursday he did not know how many houses or people were affected, he said city officials will meet with residents on Friday morning.
Sinking: both the cars as well as a street lamp are seen falling dramatically
There it goes! Another section of the Charles Village block is seen falling
Railroad tracks behind the block are also captured plummeting
Residents told WJZ they have been expecting the collapse and have complained in the past. The station says it found an April letter from train company CSX that addressed a resident's concerns, saying the area was safe and that any sinking would be the city's problem.
City council president Bernard 'Jack' Young said he complained to CSX all the way back in 1998.
'If they had listened and took care of this problem back then, you guys wouldn't be here today talking to me,' he told the station.
Meanwhile, Mayor Rawlings-Blake said 'This incident crosses what the city owns and what CSX owns. So it's too early to say who's responsible and who's footing the bill.'
