Criteria[edit]

@Zroota: Is this page for events striking only the City of Sydney or does it include the suburbs? From Kurnell:

On 16 December 2015 a supercell tracked along New South Wales coast producing a strong F2 tornado,^[1] high rainfall, hailstones and unusually strong winds. Kurnell was particularly hard hit at about 10:30 am with homes and businesses un-roofed, sewerage and electricity cut, two trucks tipped on their sides, and workers evacuated from Kurnell Refinery and the desalination plant, which was damaged. A "Wind gust of 213 km/h recorded in Kurnell at 10:33am," was "the fastest wind speed recorded in NSW history".^[2] Injuries to people were only minor. The damage to Kurnell was calculated to have cost insurers A$206 million.^[3] Elsewhere on the same day roof damage occurred at Westfield Bondi Junction and in South Nowra. Thousands of homes lost power in Bulli, Thirroul and Woonona north of Wollongong.^[2]^[4]

Page move?[edit]

As WP has an 'Extreme weather events in Melbourne' page, maybe this page should be moved to Extreme weather events in Sydney for consistency of page naming? 220 of ^Borg 13:46, 10 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
