A video of a woman struggling to walk against strong winds while holding a piece of artwork has gone viral on TikTok.
The clip was shared by @sharon.helms_commer and has 1.9 million views since it was posted three days ago. A message overlaid on the clip says: "The wind was so disrespectful to my daughter today...wait until the end."
The footage begins indoors at the top of a stairwell with an open door at the bottom. The camera goes outside, where a woman in a coat with a hood over her head is standing on a patch of grass, with a large, folded board featuring the artwork held against her body.
A voice is heard squealing, "Wait, wait wait, wait a minute " as she attempts to walk across the grass, holding the board against the strong wind. The wind suddenly picks up and the woman is pushed backwards by the force of it, as laughter is heard in the background.
She then continues to walk across the grass and her body later appears to get pushed forward this time by the wind. The board is knocked out of her hands and is seen suspended against the side of a tree as the video ends.
The latest post comes as "dangerous wind chills" and record-setting cold temperatures continue in the center of the country, says the National Weather Service (NWS).
A gale warning has been issued in parts of the country, including northern Michigan as well as the southern coastal areas of Texas and Louisiana, according to the NWS.
Gale refers to "sustained winds or frequent gusts of 39-55 mph" within 24 hours of "a non-tropical system," explains the national weather body.
Snow continues across the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast regions, with more freezing rain and elevation snowfall is expected over the Pacific Northwest, while "another Arctic blast expected late this week," the NWS said.
Snow is expected to accumulate across the eastern Great Lakes and parts of the Northeast through Tuesday, while a strong storm will hit the Northwest and "more lake-effect snow downwind of the Great Lakes are expected through mid-week," according to the national service.
TikTok users were in stitches over the latest viral clip.
