A severe, fast-moving thunderstorm passing over Sydney has felled trees and powerlines in the city's north, smashing cars and forcing trains to stop. The storm blew through the CBD, Hornsby, Parramatta, Sutherland, Sydney Olympic Park, Richmond, Liverpool and Sydney Airport by about 1pm, while the weather bureau said Mona Vale and waters off Bondi Beach would be hit by 1.30pm.
