Watch: Storm Blows Off Metal Roof. Narrow Escape For Passing Car

The viral video was shot during a storm in Australia

Storms can be romanticised in plays and poetry. But in real life, they pose a great threat to humans. Without proper amenities, a storm can cause huge damage to human lives and property. Gales, especially when accompanied by torrential rains and thunderstorms, may also alter the course of daily lives and cause havoc. Now, a viral video is showing us the effects of such a storm. The video, released on ViralHog, shows a drastic incident when a tin roof is dislodged from its place in a storm. After blowing in the storm, the metal roof crashes between two parked cars on a street - narrowly avoiding another car that was passing by on the road. The incident occurred at Dee Why, New South Wales in Australia on December 19. The caption of the video read, "Metal roofing flying in the middle of the road during a storm in Dee Why."
