“Walking towards the beach it looked to me like a huge wave coming from the back of the ocean about to swamp us all!” Hannah Murphy told CNN on Friday.
“People were running from the streets to capture the unbelievable cloud formation.”
Documentary maker Will Reid filmed this amazing video of the storm rumbling toward land. “I think Sydney just perfected the shelf cloud,” he tweeted.
It was a beautiful morning, and suddenly the ocean turned a very light aqua blue, which contrasted the sky that began turning black,” said Nicole Keijzer, who sent CNN this photo.
“People started running down to the cliff edge to take photos… All of a sudden it felt very muggy, and the wind turned warm.”
Keijzer said she quickly abandoned the beach when she saw the rain approaching.
“I saw the rain in the distance and everyone along with me ran out of the beach before getting pelted on,” she said.
