Sutherland and Hurstville Hardest Hit in Saturday Storm

Gale force winds swept through Sydney, Wollongong and the Central Coast on Saturday, bringing down trees, branches and damaging roofs.

Sutherland and Hurstville were the hardest-hit areas with a large tree crashing down onto a unit block in Sutherland.

Trees also came crashing down across roads, cars, car parks, and roofs.

NSW State Emergency Service volunteers were out until almost midnight cutting up a large tree that had fallen down and was blocking a house in the Inner West.

The NSW SES received 155 jobs in Sydney and the Blue Mountains as well as 16 around Wollongong, the Southern Highlands and the South Coast.
