The big storm that passed through Cobar on Tuesday afternoon 1 November brought with it high winds and a host of flying objects.

After a slight drizzle in the morning, a more serious storm started to develop at around 2.30pm. At their strongest, wind gusts of 85km an hour were recorded by the Bureau of Meteorology (the Bureau).

One family in Bathurst Street had a big surprise when they went into their backyard after the storm was over and discovered a semi-intact garden shed had landed in their back yard. Their large gum tree was also on the ground.

The family thought themselves fortunate, as the gum tree had actually hit their house.

"It fell onto our bedroom window, but I think the gutter slowed down the impact, saving the window from breaking," the resident told the Western Plains App.

"If it fell more to the right of the house, the air con and our daughter's bedroom may have been taken out."

"I have found the owner of the shed, they live behind us, the shed would have flown over their big peppercorn tree and our shed," said the resident.

Upon closer inspection, an old drill was found to be still attached to an inside wall.

"I can't believe this old drill was still hanging up on a hook". PHOTO SUPPLIED.

A few blocks to the east in Margaret Street, Shay Griffiths reports that they did not hear the large tree fall in their backyard.

"All we heard was a howling wind and rain and when we opened the back door to have a look it was down on the ground," she said.

In Longworth Street teenager Joey Neale also received an unexpected delivery from a neighbour's backyard.

"We had a trampoline [land] in our front yard that destroyed part of the fence," he said.

"A tree took down the power line connecting to our house. Our first day in the house too!".

"The trampoline was destroyed in the process," he said.

The flying objects seemed most common in the western side of Cobar and even the proverbial kitchen sink went flying.

"It came from next door where it was on top of our neighbour's shed", said Kate Nicholson.

A Cobar SES Unit spokesperson said that they received and attended several storm related calls.

"Most calls received were for fallen trees due to wind damage. No major damage to property...was caused," the spokesperson said.

Cobar officially recorded 10mm of rain on Tuesday 1 November.
