Some residents were given a huge surprise on Wednesday as winds from Typhoon Meranti set an inflatable moon balloon loose to roll its way across parts of Fuzhou, capital of southeast China's Fujian Province, according to CBS News.
Cellphone video shows drivers and passersby react to the half-deflated ball rolling across a construction site as well as pedestrians and vehicles on the road. One image in the video shows a woman with an electric bike look uncertain as to what to do before quickly moving out of the way of the moon.
Locals called it the "furious moon," saying it spiced up the Mid-Autumn Festival, which falls on September 15 this year. According to traditions, Chinese people enjoy family reunions, admire the moon and eat mooncakes to celebrate.
