Hailstones Rain Down as 'Freak' Storm Hits New South Wales

New South Wales emergency services launched a “large-scale multi-agency response” after a supercell storm hit parts of the state’s North Coast on October 20.

Footage from Coffs Harbour shows large hailstones raining down.

9News described the storm as a “freak weather event,” and reported that 400 people were evacuated when the roof of a shopping center in the Coffs Harbour suburb of Toormina collapsed under the weight of water.
