As the Californian coast was battered by the latest winter storm, footage showed high winds blowing a sofa off a skyscraper and tearing up patio tiles.
Video published online on Wednesday morning showed a couch flying off a high-rise building in San Francisco as strong winds continued to batter the West Coast., taken from a nearby balcony, showed the sofa sailing down to the street from above a window, hitting a nearby sidewalk. A later clip, taken from street level, showed the outdoor couch broken from the impact.
"Wow. Even by the standards of what has turned out to be one of our most extraordinary winter seasons in a very long time, yesterday stands out," the National Weather Service wrote in a Wednesday morning forecast discussion for the region.
