This is the dramatic moment wind rattled through a shop as frantic staff tried to close the door during a storm.

CCTV footage shows the woman noticing the entrance slowly opening on its own, prompting her to run toward the entryway to lock it in Zhejiang, China.

However, just as she was about to reach the second door, a violent gust blew both doors wide open, sending strong winds rushing into the store on June 8.

Women inside can be heard screaming in shock and fear as two men walk toward the doorway to help barricade it, preventing more wind from entering.

Meanwhile, customers helped pick up items that had been blown from the racks, placing them back on the shelves.

Authorities have urged residents to remain vigilant and stay indoors during storms.

The region's eastern rainy season typically begins in April and peaks in July and August.
