The strip was closed for approximately 20 minutes. This led to the cancellation of over 30 flights and the delay of around 340 flights.

In Sydney, Australia, the main runway at the airport was damaged by lightning. The Daily Mail reported this.

It was learned that the strip was closed for about 20 minutes after a lightning strike caused a hole in the asphalt surface. This led to the cancellation of more than 30 flights and the delay of around 340 flights, including singer Taylor Swift’s private plane, which was flying from Melbourne to Sydney.

The storm and severe storms left more than 13,000 homes and businesses without power.

In addition, one of the lines at Milsons Point station was closed due to equipment damage. Train delays led to crowds on the platforms.

According to the Total Lightning Network, about 75 thousand lightning strikes were recorded in the city within three hours. One of them was wounded by four people hiding under a tree in the Botanic Gardens near the Sydney Opera House. The victims suffered burns and complained of heart problems.

A thunderstorm warning has been issued across the Sydney region, with many suburban areas at risk of flooding.

It will be remembered that in India, 24 people died due to lightning strikes.

It was also reported that a football player was struck by lightning during a match in Indonesia.
