NSW SES Western Zone community capability officer Dave Rankine told the Western Advocate SES was called to just the one property following the extreme wind event.
"It was quite a significant wind event that tore the roof off a house out at that way," he said.
"Volunteers were out there, doing some reparation work, just assisting with the tarping down of the roof and that sort of stuff."
At this state, BOM said more warnings were current and more storms are currently occurring across numerous areas, so people need to check their local areas as the situation is volatile.
