Strong winds from Tropical Storm Arthur whip kite

INDIAN HARBOUR BEACH, Fla. – Strong winds from Tropical Storm Arthur whipped a kite into two women who were watching kite surfers on Indian Harbour Beach.

Workers at MedCity Hovercraft captured the moment on camera and posted the video to YouTube.

The video starts with two men trying to launch the kite. However, the strong winds grab the kite, whipping it toward a woman standing on the beach. After knocking over the first woman, the kite speeds up and smacks a second woman watching from a boardwalk.
