Tornado with wind speeds of 213 Kmph struck Sydney

A tornado with wind speeds of 213 Kmph struck and left behind a trail of destruction in southern Sydney - many people suffered minor injuries and many homes and businesses without roofs. It was a freak storm and it hit Kurnell in the city's south just after 12.30pm and moved north, while two other storm cells have battered the Blue Mountains and Hawkesbury/Central Coast regions.
This has been reported in nzherald.co.nz dated 17 December 2015.

Kurnell was the worst hit with winds reaching up to 213km/h and "golf ball-size hail" fell on St Andrew's Anglican Church accompanied by thunder and lightning.
The desalination plant in Kurnell had to be evacuated after it sustained significant damage and workers were also cleared out of the Caltex refinery as a safety precaution. Simultaneously, Sydney Airport closely monitored the storm activity and advised passengers to check out flight details because Qantas delayed several flights and cancelled some.
Moreover, the main road to Kurnell, Captain Cook Drive, was closed and two trucks were blown over by the wind on Chisholm Road - there were no injuries.
