SES continue clean-up from damaging winds

THE NSW State Emergency Service (SES) will continue to work its way through almost 800 calls for assistance following a day of fierce winds.

A two-level shopping centre at Greenacre, southwest of Sydney, and an apartment building were among the properties that had their roofs partly ripped off during Tuesday's strong winds.

Properties on the Central Coast and Northern Beaches also had roofs blown away.

The damage to the shopping complex and Marrickville unit block will require the services of structural engineers on Wednesday.

Eight people had to be evacuated from the Marrickville units and relocated to temporary accommodation.

The SES had to hand the Greenacre shopping centre job, which involved 160 metres of roof damage, to NSW Fire and Rescue.

SES spokesman Todd Burns said the organisation had received 794 calls for assistance as of 10pm (AEST) on Tuesday.

The SES had ticked off all but 184 jobs, dealing with the urgent ones first, but there would be plenty of work still to do on Wednesday.

The emergency crews expect to have light winds on their side.

"The front that occurred had now moved out of the coast," Mr Burns said.

A wind gust of 135km/h was recorded at Thredbo on Tuesday while a gust of 93km/h was recorded at Sydney Harbour.
