NSW Ambulance Inspector Gavin Wood said the storm made trees hazardous and pleaded with people to be careful.
'Trees and shrubbery around the place is being coming quite dangerous and unstable the drought has dried a lot of the forest and woodlands out,' he said.
'We ask that people be mindful and vigilant.'
