This is the frightening moment sparks flew as debris thrown by a tornado storm hit power lines in Indonesia's West Sumatra.

Eyewitness video filmed by local citizen Fadli Yahya in the village of Gadut, Agam district, at 2.45pm on Monday (July 8) shows roof panels being stripped off of roadside buildings and into overhead power lines, causing explosions and sending onlookers running for shelter. Coconut trees sway viciously in the wind.

Fadli's father Agus said: "I was standing in front of the shop, the wind was [coming] and blew the roof of the Sanjai Aisyah shop, the roof struck the electric cable, exploded, then went towards PKBM school. The roof flew up again and then exploded again."
