When he ~, Sammy <
Letter Writing
When he ~, Sammy <>
I found the sentence below in my book.
When he heard the weather forecast, Sammy closed the windows, put tape across the glass.
To me, that's a little weird structure. I think that 'Sammy' should be placed in a position of 'he' ; i.e. When Sammy heard the weather forecast, he closed ~~
Am I right? or the sentence still makes sense & not strange?

The thing I find a bit unusual is the missing "and." The second clause has a compound predicate
