Northern states have had it rough in terms of the weather this week, with Penang the latest to be affected. A severe storm that hit the island state yesterday resulted in flash floods and fallen trees, some of which toppled on parked vehicles, with at least two people killed by a tree that fell on the car they were in, according to a report by The Star.
The turbulence also wreaked havoc on parked vehicles as metal awnings and frames collapsed from the force of the strong winds and became free-flying debris, as could be seen in a clip shot during the storm by a member of the public and shared on X by #UpdateInfo.
While its impossible to determine how safe a place for parked cars is in such situations, staying inside a parked vehicle during a thunderstorm with large trees nearby should be avoided if possible. Stay safe, everyone.
