Jabaa advised the locals to consider planting more trees to reduce the force of windstorms.

“I am advising people in the electoral area to take caution and let’s plant more trees that will help us to be able to stop or reduce the speed of the wind so that it doesn’t cause havoc than it would have,” the assemblyman said.

The deceased has since been buried.
