CYCLONIC winds are forecast to hit Sydney, Wollongong and Newcastle tonight, and the weather bureau warns the wild storm will "pack a mean punch". Gusts of up to 100kmh, enough to tear off roofs, will hammer the coast only days after floods claimed nine lives and caused millions of dollars in damage. "We certainly have a very hazardous situation spinning up," said the Sydney weather bureau's chief meteorologist, Rob Webb. "It will pack a mean punch." (Sydney Morning Herald)
