Superstorm's trail of devastation: More than 55,000 homes wake up without power in Sydney - as Queensland braces for 'zombie cyclone' to reform after half a metre of rainfall overnight Sam Lock For Daily Mail Australia 12/16/2018 More than 55,000 homes in Sydney and the Central Coast remain without power after thunderstorms have savaged the NSW coast. Torrential rain, damaging wind and hailstones the size of golf balls lashed Sydney and the Hunter region on Saturday afternoon bringing down trees and taking out hundreds of power lines. Fears of tropical 'zombie' cyclone Owen re-forming off the Queensland coast are still a concern after wild winds and up to 200mm of torrential rain swept across the state's far north. Parts of Queensland's far north were drenched overnight, with Halifax north of Townsville recording 669mm rainfall in the last 24 hours alone. Although the cyclone had settled to a tropical low by late Saturday afternoon, QFES Commissioner Katarina Carroll said heavy rainfall and flash flooding could still follow and warned residents not to be complacent. A 50 percent chance was given for Owen spinning back up into a cyclone in the Coral Sea off Townsville on Tuesday. Along the NSW coast Sydney's north was hardest hit with parts of the Parramatta and Campbelltown areas and the southern part of the Central Coast also damaged. The SES said they'd received more than 4,600 calls, mainly for fallen trees and roof damage. The Bureau of Meteorology issued a severe thunderstorm warning for most of New South Wales' east coast on Saturday afternoon after vicious wind gusts nearing 100km/h slammed northern parts of the state at around 2pm. By 5pm three separate thunderstorms came together to form a 'super-cell' storm around the greater Sydney area and Wollongong. continues at msn.com
