The fog was covered approximately 20 miles. This led to the cancellation of more than 30 flights and delays of about 340 flights.
In Sydney, Australia, the main runway at the airport was damaged by a lightning strike. This was reported by the Daily Mail.
It is noted that the lane was closed for about 20 minutes after a lightning strike caused a hole in the asphalt pavement. This led to the cancellation of more than 30 flights and delays of about 340 flights, including the private jet of singer Taylor Swift, flying from Melbourne to Sydney.
The storm and severe thunderstorms left more than 13,000 households and businesses without power.
In addition, one of the lines at Milsons Point station was closed due to equipment damage. Train delays led to crowds on the platforms.
According to the Total Lightning Network, about 75,000 lightning strikes were recorded in the city in three hours. One of them hit four people who were hiding under a tree in the Botanical Gardens near the Sydney Opera House. The victims suffered burns and complained of heart problems.
A thunderstorm warning has been issued across the Sydney region, with many suburban areas at risk of flooding.
