Many coastal and low lying suburbs of the northern beaches had to be evacuated by emergency services.
While some were able to make light of the situation — one guy was fishing off his balcony in Narrabeen — others found themselves in life-threatening situations.
Just the next suburb across in Collaroy, sea walls crumbled away last night, washing property into raging surf.
Here’s a look a garden shed being swallowed by the seas
The coastline looks as though it has had a bite taken out of it
This pool was the next to go. The houses are hanging on the edge.
