Storms ravage Coast – yet again Wild weather battered the Central Coast on Tuesday and Wednesday this week, causing widespread damage and power outages, with high winds and heavy rain predicted to last into Thursday. Evacuation orders were issued for parts of Wamberal and The Entrance North as severe coastal erosion and dangerous waves threatened homes.

The NSW State Emergency Service directed residents along Pacific St, Wamberal, to evacuate immediately due to high risks of structural damage
from coastal erosion and continued storm activity. At The Entrance North, beachfront properties near Hutton Rd and the Dunleith Caravan Park were also under evacuation orders. The storm brought destructive winds which tore roofing from homes and businesses along the Central Coast Hwy at Long Jetty, forcing the closure of the highway in both directions. The Ridgeway at Tumbi Umbi was also closed as trees and power lines fell.
