Craig Ronan from the SES said that despite the light show last night, they didn’t receive any call outs throughout the Bathurst and Blayney regions.
“They were all on call ready to move into action, but there wasn’t a lot of wind so the damage was minimal.”
That forecast though may change as further storms are forecast for later this afternoon and this evening.
More than 20 millimetres of rain was recorded at Bathurst Airport to 9am, Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) data shows.
