Wild winds damage roof of house north of Bathurst

Volunteers attached to the State Emergency Service (SES) were called to a property at Clear Creek, just east of Peel, after an isolated wind event in the region damaged a roof on Thursday afternoon.

NSW SES Western Zone community capability officer Dave Rankine said 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."

Rain and thunderstorms has been forecast for Bathurst region throughout Friday.
