Sydney and the NSW Hunter region bore the brunt of the vicious storm cell that swept along the east coast on Tuesday.

Nearby Maitland has already seen more than 60mm in three hours as the system drenches part of the Hunter region. Flooding in the Eastern Distributor tunnel that runs through the Sydney CBD was filmed by Liberal candidate for Vaucluse Kellie Sloane. Picture: Twitter
