问题     Several storms hit the western areas of the city last night, leaving scenes of destruction and at least a hundred homes without power or running water. Dozens of families were left homeless when the roofs of their houses were ripped away.
    Many of the areas hit were the same ones badly affected by the hailstorms last week. In Macquarie Street, the council car park was completely flooded. A Toyota corolla was damaged by flood waves which carded the car across the car park and into a large storm water drain. A separate storm raced through the Federation Botanical Park. It uprooted at least fifty trees; many of them were over a hundred years old. In Menai, several trees were found lying on parked ears, causing an insurance bill that will nm into the tens of thousands of dollars. Winds were recorded at speeds of seventy kilometers an hour. There were reports of cars being piled one on top of the others. In Lucas Heights a tree fell on a mini-bus that was taking the local soccer team to training. Luckily all but the driver escaped serious inquiry. The driver is in a satisfactory condition in Westmead hospital.
    For tomorrow, weather reports predict improved conditions, with clear skies and an expected maximum temperature in the city.
