Hail Storms Ravage Mount Druitt And Surrounding Suburbs - 'whyilovemountdruitt Face Book Group'

Oblivious to storms occurring whilst I work inside office, it appears that storms that ravaged our area, have chopped down trees in had fallen across pathways, roads, parks and houses.

At Mount Druitt Train Station, Sydney trains Officers were dealing with a southerly blast of hail  about a size of a 10 cents piece/ marble and rain, hitting from The Avenue and causing  flooding at the Mount Druitt  vestibule area and Train Station Office. As well between 3.30-4.30pm, 3 lifts at Mount Druitt Train were stuck with commuters unable to get out for about 10 minutes.  Whilst this occurred Emergency Services Crew were dealing with a commuter having a seizure, on one of the platform.

 We understand that Mount Druitt doesn't have enough commuters to have a paramedic, like Parramatta and Blacktown Trains Stations. Probably some thing our local State Member for Mount Druitt, Hon Edmond Atalla, could follow up, for us on NSW Parliament.

The lights heading to the bus interchange and escalators on the northern side were out to night, including all lifts, except the Mount Druitt Commuter Car Park lifts.

Currently lifts are out of service until maintenance can be conducted, until further notice, as per phots above.

I believe that all the storm and  hail stretched through to Kingswood/ Penrith.

In Mount Druitt Town Square, no major damage can be seen at night, except a slight puddle and mud to go with it, which can be cleaned and swept up


 At  Shennan Walkway in Mount Druitt, fallen tree on the top of the Walkway. Hopefully no one got hurt. Also around the area Energy Australia were seen actively fixing up light poles, as seen here on the right.
