A large Gum tree fell onto a house in Bounty Avenue, Castle Hill. What's your worst weather experience over the weekend? Got any photos? Gale force winds of up to 90km/h are expected to hit the Hunter and Sydney regions today as the wild weather that saw Byron Bay pelted with hail on Saturday continues. The windy and soggy conditions led to a large gumtree falling on top of a home in Sydney's north-west. The State Emergency Service cut up the tree after it landed on the home causing a serious amount of damage about 10.25pm last night. The SES began cutting up the tree and rendered the area safe. Repairs have commenced on the house. Motorists are advised to avoid Industrial Rd, Newcastle which is closed in both directions due to flash flooding. A severe hail storm lashed the Coffs Harbour suburb of Toormina.
