Severe storms destroy five light planes at airport in Sydney’s south-west causing an estimated more than $100,000 in damage

Overnight storms in Sydney have wreaked havoc in the city’s south-west, with at least five light planes destroyed and 12 buildings flattened at the Oaks Airfield at Camden Airport by the storm.

The Bureau of Meteorology declared the storm was “very dangerous” yesterday afternoon with destructive winds, giant hailstones and very heavy rainfall lashing the area.

The storm hit the area the hardest just after 5pm, which lifted concrete blocks weighing more than 100 kilograms from the ground.

The owner of the airfield told 9NEWS it only lasted a few minutes and likened it to cyclone Tracy saying it was like nothing he’s ever seen before.

“You could probably see about ten feet out of the door, the darkness came over, the building started to shake, the roof and the back wall disappeared at the same time and debris flew all over us, its absolute devastation around the place,” he said.

It’s believed only one man received minor injuries during the destructive storm.
