Metro.co.uk — .A British holidaymaker captured this alarming footage of strong storm conditions in Heraklion on Wednesday.
He was staying at the Stella Palace Hotel with his family and went out for a stroll along the beach when the weather suddenly turned.
The video shows how he was forced to find shelter, as parasols and deckchairs are blown everywhere.
A couple hours later a warm autumn sun came out from behind the clouds, and beach life resumed.
