Boats were blown on shore at Little Manly Beach, roofs were ripped off and planes at Sydney airport were delayed as Sydney was hit by strong winds on Friday.
The winds reached as high as 106km/h on Sydney Harbour, the strongest gusts in at least six years. And they reached 111km/h at the highly exposed station of Wattamolla in the Royal National Park.
Sydney and Wollongong, in the Illawarra region of NSW, were the worst hit. The electricity network Ausgrid electricity said winds had left Sydney homes and businesses without power.
