This is the dramatic moment uprooted trees blocked a busy road during a storm in China.

Footage shows a large mass of wood obstructing the roadway, with emergency responders assessing the situation in Xiamen, Fujian, on July 8.

Witnesses said at least three cars were heavily damaged by the incident.

That evening, Typhoon Danas made a second landfall in Wenzhou, Zhejiang, worsening the already unstable weather conditions along Fujian's coast.

Danas had made landfall in Taiwan late Sunday evening, killing two people and injuring more than 500 as it battered the island's western coast.

One person was crushed by a falling tree while driving, and another died after a power cut caused his respirator to malfunction.
