BEAUFORT: The roofs of two shops and two houses were blown off by strong winds during a heavy downpour on Sunday which had also toppled a tree.

Mohd Johawalia Kimsin was riding his motorcycle in the 5pm chaos and had to stop at a safe spot fearing the roofs would hit him in the rough weather.

He saw the store and home owners panic attempting to quickly leave the buildings.

“However, the strong winds frightened them from stepping out and had to endure inside,” he told Daily Express.
