The community of Carinda in the Walgett Shire is cleaning up after a storm lashed the area yesterday.

No injuries have been reported after wild weather downed electricity poles and tore the roofs from homes and businesses. 

Power has been off from around 6pm yesterday, although mobile service appears to have remained active.

It's understood one woman's dog died from injuries sustained in the storm.

Damage to businesses

Destructive winds destroyed roofs at three commercial properties including the local pub, pizza shop and general store, as well as at least three private residents, according to the NSW SES.

Pizza shop owner at Carinda Far West Store, Bec McLellan, said she doesn't know at this point if the building is recoverable.

"We can probably recover a few things, but there's a lot of water damage. The roof has completely fallen in the Far West Store, so the chimney is gone," Ms McLellan said.

"But, I mean, I'm pretty lucky that it's not my house either. It's only a place of work. I do feel for people that have this happen to their actual homes.

"Nobody was hurt, so that's the main thing."

The SES is advising residents to keep clear of damaged buildings, fallen trees and powerlines.

Residents who want to check if their neighbours need help or need assistance themselves can call NSW SES on 132 500.

Shire sending trucks

Walgett Mayor Jasen Ramien said at around 9am today that trucks from Council were being sent to Carinda to help with the clean up.

"We will engage contractors to clean up. We've got Council staff on hand there to help as well. Council staff went there last night to help with the traffic control," Cr Ramien said.

"We had SES and RFS, Essential Energy, police, all on scene there."

SES teams from Tamworth, Dubbo, Walgett and Nyngan are also expected the town to help clean up around 119 properties.

The SES has recorded 49 incidents in its Western Zone as a storm front swept across the Western Plains, 32 involving fallen trees.

High winds preceded the storms with Cobar Airport recording a 98 km per hour wind gust at 2:55 pm yesterday.

Around 2300 customers remain without power in the zone, according to the SES
