A viral video on TikTok shows the moment gusty winds uprooted a gazebo and sent it flying into the air at Leeds Fest.
The video, which has been watched 5.4 million times in the last 24 hours alone, and amassed nearly 700,000 likes was uploaded yesterday. It starts off showing a number of festival goers standing and enjoying themselves.
Someone can be heard in the background, and before long a woman screams, "Oh my God, it is a gazebo". The gazebo, army green in colour, is then lifted into the air, and goes above the height of trees in the distance.

As people rush to film, a change in wind direction hurls the gazebo straight back at its owners. One woman who is filming barely manages to move, before the gazebo comes for the top of her head.
A last minute half-duck half flinch and fortunate change of directions prevents the gazebo from hitting her right on the temple. It falls to the floor, before taking off again and causing some ruin to a few tents.
The video was uploaded by @imogen_king0 with the caption, " #leedsfest #tornado #gazebo #readingfestival ". Many people found it hilarious.
One user wrote: "When it came back I dunno why I shouted ‘catch it’". But another user expressed concern, saying, "That could poke someone's eye out."
