Chaos across Sydney as wind shatters windows, halts flights

Sydney CBD windows shatter, people are injured by flying cladding and many flights are cancelled as high winds buffet parts of NSW.

Parts of NSW have been buffeted by high winds, with two people injured by flying building cladding, glass left shattered in a CBD high-rise and Sydney Airport forced to cancel flights.

Severe damage has been reported across Sydney, and the NSW Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) issued a severe weather warning for Friday and Saturday.

At the entrance to Wynyard Station in the CBD, two people were injured when cladding was blown off a building in Clarence Street.

A man in his 30s suffered injuries to his foot, and a woman, also in her 30s, had injuries to her arm.
