Last night strong winds blew through the Klang Valley, uprooting trees and unhinging roofs across the city around 10pm.

In Wangsa Maju, the entire roof of a building blew off onto several parked cars below. Firemen were called to the scene; however, no casualties were reported and officials say the situation was under control.

Social media users reported trees blocking roads across the upmarket Bangsar neighborhood, while in Kampung Segambut Luat a house had a tree go right through the living room. No injuries were reported.

Stay safe out there, and remember … stay inside and for the love of all things good and mighty, don’t decide that now is the time to fix the Astro dish.
