The short and unnerving jolt of an aircraft is enough to make most travellers to freak out momentarily, then go back to being calm.

No such luck however for one passenger flying to Melbourne, Australia, as they looked out the window to see their plane violently shake in strong wind, with no sign of reprieve. Scary!

Footage captured on a flight from Burnie, Tasmania, shows the intensity of the wind as it visibly rattles the aircraft -- not something you want to see from your window seat 10,000 feet.

Australia's southern state of Victoria has been lashed by intense storms and 100 kilometre per hour winds over the past week, with one reported fatality and reports of up to 50,000 homes without power.

But it's not just terrifying plane turbulence. Other social media images show the intensity of the storm's power in a range of place.
