People were forced to dive for cover after a huge blast of wind whipped through a park in Commerce City, Colorado.
As they attempted to take cover by lying on the ground, the wind whisked two portable toilets straight into the air and flattened a nearby tent.
Dozens rush for cover as debris and loose objects are sent hurling through the air, and a mother is seen sheltering her child on all fours.
The video was shared online shortly afterwards and quickly racked up thousands of views.
It is not known where the gust of wind was part of a storm or a freak occurrence, however no one was thought to have been injured.

Joseph Boyer was slammed hard onto the pavement and spent two weeks in a coma suffering a bleed on the brain, bruised organs, fractured ribs and blood clots. He died two weeks later.

Mine would have begun, so there I was, minding (and doing) my own business.
Crazy.
If you've ever experienced the high straight line winds out in the West, it's quite something. When I was a kid, we lived in the Mojave, and one time I was knocked over from behind by a tumbleweed.*

*I was a little kid then AND tumbleweeds are much bigger than most folks realize.
