A tornado has surged through the central west of NSW, injuring three people, ripping down powerlines and destroying buildings and trees in its path.
Bureau of Meteorologist senior climatologist Agata Imielska said there was damage to the Clear Creek area northeast of Bathurst on Thursday afternoon.
The tornado travelled along a 30km line running roughly northwest, she said.
Three people were injured including a man in his 40s with cuts to his arms and a woman with neck and back injuries, the ABC reported.
At least one house was reported demolished at Meadow Flat.
The tornado is part of a larger weather system that has been causing severe thunderstorms around parts of the NSW and the ACT for several days.
BOM said warnings continue and more storms are currently ongoing in different areas.
"So people need to check their local areas as the situation is volatile," BOM said in a statement.
