Street vendors were affected the most
The most affected were small traders and street vendors who rely on daily income from roadside stalls and open spaces.
Several viral clips showed chaotic scenes as business tents were blown away and badly damaged.
Some traders also shared their terrifying experience as the storm struck their premises. The strong winds forced both stall owners and customers to run for cover.

“May all matter be eased. The storm was really bad last night. Our burger stall was blown away and damaged badly.
“Luckily, my husband had taken the chicken eggs the night before, otherwise they’d all have been broken. The door to our stall is bent and stuck. If we want to continue our business, there’s a lot to repair,” said a burger stall owner on TikTok.
Fallen trees and close calls
Beyond traders, residents in other affected areas also faced falling trees caused by the strong winds.
Videos and pictures showed roads blocked by large branches, posing risks to motorists.
According to local news reports, a nine-year-old boy suffered head injuries which required stitches after a tree fell on the car he was in with his mother who was driving. Both were brought to a nearby clinic after the incident, said Fire and Rescue Department operations commander Saharudin Md Shah.
The same night, a 35-year-old lorry driver was trapped in his lorry after a tree toppled onto the vehicle. He suffered minor injuries.
Be wary and prepared for sudden weather changes
Residents in affected areas are urged to stay alert and cautious during extreme weather changes. The public is advised to:
- Avoid outdoor activities during unstable weather.
- Stay updated with official forecasts and warnings from the Malaysian Meteorological Department (METMalaysia).
- Ensure the safety of themselves, their families, and their belongings.
- Take precautions to reduce risks, including accidents caused by flying debris or falling trees.
