Dyfed-Powys Police is receiving a number of reports of roofing material being blown off buildings in Cardigan, Aberystwyth, Pembrokeshire, Ystradgynlais and Llanelli.
The safety of the public is paramount, and a decision has been made to close Cardigan High Street due to the danger posed by falling slates. Please stay away from these areas and stay indoors as much as possible.
Try not to walk or shelter close to buildings and trees.
