SES urges patience after NSW storms - 7 NEWS

Storm-affected NSW residents have been urged to remain patient as crews work around the clock to repair damage from heavy rain and wild winds.

The State Emergency Service has fielded about 2800 calls as clean-up efforts continue following storms that battered parts of Sydney and led to fallen power lines and trees, including one that hit a car and killed a man.

SES volunteers were joined by police and fire crews on Friday at the worst-hit suburbs, including Penrith, Mt Druitt and Blacktown in the west, and Bankstown and Moorebank in the southwest.

The Central Coast also received a battering, with Wyong hardest hit. Up to 400 SES volunteers spent the night assisting residents affected by the storms.
