New South Wales’ State Emergency Service (SES) said it had received as many as 800 requests for assistance related to the supercell.

“NSW SES have local and out of area crews as well as partner agencies on the ground working in the community with the clean-up from yesterday’s storm ahead of more possible storms,” the service said. Credit: William Watkins via Storyful
