Jaw-dropping video shows mounds of murky seafoam blowing through the city streets of Tossa De Mar, 90 minutes north of the bustling coastal city.

In the footage, the foam appears to flow and move like the ocean. Building walls are covered in foam and two people can be seen standing off to the side, out of the material that has washed in thanks to the storm.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration says most seafoam isn’t harmful to humans but adds that there are exceptions when it comes to large, harmful algal blooms that decay near shore.

Algal blooms refer to a quick accumulation of algae in freshwater or marine water systems and are one of the most common sources of thick seafoam.

Storm Gloria has left 200,000 people in the country without electricity, has closed down schools and blocked roads since Tuesday morning.

The storm has claimed the lives of at least four people since it hit on Sunday when the national weather agency Aemet declared a red alert in 10 provinces, El Pais reports.
