A Sydney wedding reception turned into a chaotic scene on October 3 when severe thunderstorms hit the area, causing guests to step in as an unlikely rescue team. Heavy rain and large hailstones battered parts of New South Wales, prompting guests to use wooden chairs to prop up a section of the roof that was beginning to sag. Despite the reception area already set up with tables, plates, glasses, and napkins, the guests worked together to prevent water and hail from causing further damage.
The unusual and comical situation was described by one guest as both alarming and slightly humorous. Footage from outside the venue showed large hailstones scattered across the lawn, while intense rain lashed the area. The severe weather was not limited to the wedding venue, as thunderstorms swept across New South Wales, bringing damaging winds, hail, and heavy rainfall.
Emergency services received over 100 calls for assistance by 5pm on October 3, with crews responding to storm-related incidents throughout the state. The weather system also brought an intense tornado to Ulladulla, more than 220 km south of Sydney, causing damage to properties, roofs, trees, and powerlines.
