A sudden storm swept through Burren Junction on Friday afternoon, around 7.30pm, 7 November, leaving several homes damaged and prompting a quick response from local SES and Volunteer Rescue Association (VRA) crews.
Residents reported strong winds and hailstones pelting the town during the brief but intense event. Several roofs were lifted or partially torn away, and fallen trees blocked parts of Inkerman and Hastings Streets, as well as nearby roads.
Walgett Shire Council confirmed its staff were back in Burren Junction over the weekend, assessing the damage and assisting in clean-up operations.
“It came through really fast — the hail was the size of golf balls,” one resident said. “You could hear it hammering on the roof, and then part of it just lifted.”
The Burren Junction VRA was called in to help secure homes, placing tarpaulins over damaged roofs and clearing debris on Saturday afternoon and Sunday. Volunteers worked alongside council crews to make properties safe and prevent further water damage.
