This is the moment the wind blows away garden furniture in a family's backyard in Seattle.

A powerful storm hit northwestern Washington on Tuesday, February 25, causing damage, including fallen trees and power outages.

CCTV footage from Mark DeLoura's home in Lower Queen Anne shows a strong gust of wind tossing outdoor items and covered furnishings around.

Mark explained that the bubble structure, which had been part of their yard for five years, was anchored with over 200lbs of bricks and water.

He said: 'We set up this 15ft backyard bubble to help during the pandemic when one of us was sick. We then kept it for use as a greenhouse and for outdoor enjoyment in the winter. Despite being weighed down, the wind was too strong.'

The National Weather Service recorded a 52 mph wind gust at Seattle-Tacoma Airport, nearly matching a 2008 record.
