This morning we are greeted with gale force winds, thousands of homes without power and the news the conditions are not going to ease across Sydney and the Hunter region until Wednesday.
SES deputy commissioner Steven Pearce has warned people to stay off the roads saying there is flash flooding “everywhere” across Sydney and surrounding areas.
We’ve had 24 hours of relentless gale-force winds. I haven’t seen this wind damage for years,” he said.
We are going to steer well clear of weather reporting cliches, such as “the rain is not dampening spirits” but stay with us through the morning for the updates on conditions, road closures and storm damage.
