Intense gusts of wind in a Colorado city sent two porta-potties careening into the air, spraying liquid onto people running and huddling for cover below.

The original video, posted by Gabriel Flores to Facebook Monday, shows debris whirling through the air as people attempt to flee from the soaring commodes. It amassed over one million views on Facebook.

The flying toilets quickly gained popularity on Twitter, where reactions ranged from amusement to horror.

Happened in Commerce City, CO. No one hurt...physically.
