Strong winds blew off the metal roof of a building, injuring one scooter rider and damaging more than a dozen of parked vehicles.

The dashcam video was filmed in the city of Baishan in Jilin Province on April 12.

A billboard hanging above the street was also snapped in half, creating a cloud of dust. The fallen roof buried several parked cars on the road, causing different levels of damage.

Mr Sun, a local resident, was driving past the affected area when the metal sheets started falling off the roof, almost hitting his vehicle. He was lucky enough to escape and quickly reversed his car.

According to Mr Peng, a pharmacy owner, the winds came at around 8:00 am. It was the first time he experienced such strong winds.

A pedestrian riding an electric scooter was hit by a falling metal sheet and suffered a scalp injury. He was taken to the hospital for treatment.

More than a dozen of cars parked on the roadside were also damaged. A driver was trapped in a taxi but was rescued by kind-hearted residents. Fortunately, he was not injured.

All shops on the street have been closed due to the powerful winds. A staff member from the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau in Jingyu County stated that the damage caused by the winds was severe.

The department's leaders have led the staff to repair the damages at the site and the specific losses are still being calculated.

4月12日，吉林省白山市刮起大风，一街道楼房的铁皮屋顶被掀落，道路中央的广告牌被“拦腰”吹折，扬起一阵尘烟，路上的车辆也被吹落的铁皮废墟掩埋。
白山市民孙先生介绍，他当时正好驾车路过该路段，忽然路右侧的楼顶上，大片的铁皮开始纷纷坠落，险些砸中他的车辆，吓得他该快往后倒车，这一幕也刚好被行车记录仪拍了下来。
据在该街道上开药店的彭先生介绍，大风是在早上八时左右突然发生的，他是头一回遇到吹落屋顶的大风。掉落的铁皮屋顶砸伤了一名骑电动车的路人，头皮被擦破，目前路人已被送到医院救治。路边停车位里的十几辆车都受到了不同程度的损坏，有一辆出租车上的司机被困，被热心的市民救出，没有受伤。目前，受大风天气影响，街上的店铺已经全部闭店。
靖宇县住房和城乡建设局一名工作人员表示，大风造成的情况严重，目前部门领导已带领工作人员在现场进行抢修工作，具体损失还在统计中。
