This is the terrifying moment violent winds sent a roof crashing into power poles, triggering dramatic explosions.

Atirut Wuttiwong and his friends were driving home after work when they spotted the damaged awning being torn off by strong gusts in Samut Prakan, Thailand.

Footage shows the metal sheet flying through the air before slamming into power lines, sparking a blast on May 11.

The impact caused a shower of sparks and loud bangs, with thick black smoke billowing into the sky.

As the debris continued down the motorway, flashes erupted from the live wires, leaving shocked motorists in fear as they witness the incident.

Authorities have warned residents to stay indoors during severe weather.

Thailand is frequently affected by tropical storms during its monsoon season, from May to October, bringing heavy rainfall, strong winds, and potential flooding—especially in low-lying areas.
