00:00It causes a lot of damage when they fly.

00:04Whilst they might be anchored securely,

00:08unless it's done properly, they're causing damage.

00:11And it usually does make an awkward,

00:14across the fence conversation when your trampoline

00:18has damaged the next-door neighbour's roof.

00:20How else can people race for sort of a strong wind

00:24through the roof this afternoon and this evening?

00:26So don't park under large trees is a big one.

00:29We have actually seen recently a lot of cars damaged

00:33and people injured by those trees falling

00:38with people in cars and the like.

00:42We do say trim the branches around your houses.

00:45So where a tree may be in a position to affect your house,

00:50that we do trim those branches

00:53and protect the guttering of your house.

00:55And in terms of being on the road as well,

00:56is there any advice there for the commuters?

00:58Well, we just ask for common sense.

01:01We say don't go through floodwaters

01:03and that includes driving.

01:05You only need a small amount of water on the road

01:07for your car to be affected by those floodwaters.

01:09So even those people that have four-wheel drives,

01:13the snorkels, once you lose traction in flooded waters,

01:17especially fast moving, you are in danger.

01:19So please stay out of floodwaters.

01:22It's the safest bet.
