storms are the major reason behind mass scale

or anything hazardous and can cause a lot of harm
to the people. For instance, branches of trees or
even logs lying in your backyard may prove
damaging.

needs to be properly secured. This attachment to
the house may prove to be a weak link as

when the doors as well as windows of your home
