The storm has caused significant structural damage to homes in the Westbury area, with one house suffering a collapsed roof and wall. The incident highlights the risks posed by severe weather, particularly when combined with saturated ground conditions that make trees more likely to topple. Residents in the area are at risk of property damage and potential injury from falling trees and debris. The trapped cats also face risks from the unstable structure, which has hindered rescue efforts. The situation underscores the importance of addressing potential hazards, such as aging trees, before severe weather events.
