BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA (FOX BUSINESS) – Royal Caribbean cruise passengers scrambled for shelter as a freak storm sent furniture flying across the deck, social media videos show.

“It just turned crazy, like a scene from the movie Twister is exactly what I thought because you see these chairs flying up in the air,” passenger Jenn Stancil told Fox 35 Orlando of the scene.

The Royal Caribbean’s Independence of the Seas was ready to embark on its voyage from Port Canaveral, Florida, to the Bahamas on June 16 when a storm hit the port. One video shows passengers crawling on the deck to safety as heavy winds and rain slam the ship’s deck, with chairs flying overhead.

“Oh my God, that guy fell!” a woman is heard yelling in the back.
