On June 14, in Hefei, Anhui Province, China, strong winds swept away a giant inflatable giraffe placed outside a shopping mall. The massive inflatable tumbled across the ground and came to a stop just in front of a car heading toward the underground parking area.

Fortunately, the incident did not result in any injuries or property damage. Mall staff responded quickly by securing and removing the inflatable structure.

Local weather authorities had issued a yellow alert for severe convective weather earlier that afternoon, warning residents to take precautions against heavy rain and strong winds.

6月14日，安徽合肥一商场门口的巨型充气长颈鹿被大风吹飞，在地面上几经翻滚后，落到正在前往地下车库的轿车前。
