Areas of most severe damage stretched from the Warraweeâ€"Turramurra area to Duffys Forest, with significant damage occurring to property in the Ku-ring-gai, Hornsby and former Warringah council areas. More than 7000 houses were damaged. The total estimated insurance payout for the storm was estimated at A$215 million.
