A powerful storm has wreaked havoc in various parts of Netherlands and Germany. Various videos of the storm have been shared by users on social media bringing the situation alive in different cities.

In a startling clip posted on Twitter, a cyclist loses his balance and is blown across a pedestrian crossing, before eventually crashing into a railing. People are seen holding onto traffic poles that are swaying scarily due to the extreme winds.

The video was taken in the typically-windy city of The Hague which lies close to the North Sea. Two subsequent videos show people struggling to stay on the ground as they are hit by the wind.
