Strong winds from Wednesday night’s storm sent an outdoor dining structure flying into a building across a street in Fort Green.

The structure in front of the Mexican restaurant Tacombi is usually held in place by white blocks. However, the strong wind ripped it from the ground in front of the business on Lafayette Avenue and sent it flying through the air.

It eventually landed in front of the Brooklyn Academy of Music, where first responders tied it into place.

News 12 is waiting to hear back from fire officials to see if anyone was hurt.
