LONDON -- Storm Imogen has barrelled its way into the UK, and it looks as though one of its main targets has been the nation's trampolines.
Imogen is the UK's ninth named storm. The Met office said that the storm has generated 96 mph winds in some areas.
So far #StormImogen has brought a max gust of 96mph to Needles Old Battery. Warnings are still in force https://t.co/BEQkezhE3z— Met Office (@metoffice) February 8, 2016
They also tweeted to advise people to secure their garden furniture. Judging by the following photos, it looks like they may have had a point.
Windy at the airport! We even acquired a second trampoline from next door which hurdled the fence! #StormImogen pic.twitter.com/jlHv0OE6bg— Chad Murray (@capt_murray) February 8, 2016

Keep those trampolines secured, folks.
(It's worth noting climbing frames are also at risk.)
