The wind has blown over trees, traffic lights, lawn chairs and now it has blown the roof right off of the IGA grocery store in Humboldt.

"There were people in the store and there was staff in the store," Judy Plag said.

Plag said she watched the roof get taken off at around 9:30 a.m.

"Part of the roof just lifted up and over it went ... The roof is in the back alley, it is behind the building," Plag said, adding that watching the incident felt like time was moving in slow motion.

The store is now closed and pieces of the roof can be seen scattered in a nearby alley.
