The horrifying moment a family's POOL is washed into the surf as Sydney endures the worst storms since 1974 and city's transport system descends into chaos A devastated woman from Sydney's northern beaches has described the moment she watched her pool and garden collapse into the ocean after a savage storm lashed the state on Sunday. Zaza Silk, from Collaroy, said she lost up to 15 metres of coastline after the 125km/h winds and 150 millimetres of rain thrashed her property like 'an earthquake'. Another 100 millimetres of rainfall is expected throughout Monday before the low-pressure system moves on to Tasmania by the evening. Public transport continues to be affected and peak hour commuters face significant delays. The brunt of the storm is yet to hit the Illawarra region and another 100 millimetres of rainfall is expected before the low-pressure system moves on to Tasmania on Monday evening.
