This is the dramatic moment a storm blew a warehouse onto an oncoming car during a storm in Thailand.

Driver Arm Bourpud was traveling with his mum, wife, and two children through the Soi Pantai Norrasing area of Samut Sakhon province when debris from the dismantled structure flew toward their vehicle on September 20.

Strong winds had torn the building from its foundation and sent it tumbling towards the road.

The pieces of metal and corrugated iron sheets struck Arm's car and also knocked down several power lines on an electric post.

Arm said: 'We were lucky no one inside the car was hurt. I knew I had to be careful while driving because there was a storm, but I never expected an entire warehouse to come flying toward us.'

He added that it cost him 100,000 THB (2,780 USD) to repair his car.

Thailand and neighbouring countries in Southeast Asia are in their annual monsoon rainy season which sees soaring temperatures followed by powerful rain storms in the afternoon leading to widespread flash floods.
