9 News journalist Peter Stefanovic battled the elements this morning as he tried to record a piece to camera from Sydney's Bondi Beach.
Stefanovic was reporting on the wild weather lashing parts of NSW for the Today Show, but had trouble facing the camera and getting his words out, as strong winds pummelled the coast.
Nope.
Hmmmm needs more sand. Take 2.
Winds of up to 135km/h have been recorded along the coast, turning some areas into desert landscapes.
Sydney and the Hunter regions have also been drenched, with 100mm of rain recorded since 9am Monday. Conditions are expected to ease later today as an intense low pressure system is forecast to move southwards.
