Natural disaster zones have been declared across parts of NSW as wild weather left a "tornado" trail of broken power lines, uprooted trees and damaged roofs.
Thousands will be left without power for a third chilly night on Thursday.
More than 11,500 houses in the Blue Mountains, southern highlands and south coast awoke on Thursday to freezing temperatures, 100km/h winds and no electricity.
The chaos followed a ferocious storm that battered the region on Tuesday night.
"It was like a jet was flying over the house and hovering: the whole house was just vibrating," said Blackheath resident Susan Groves.
The severe weather left areas such as Blackheath and Medlow Bath looking like a "war zone", Blue Mountains councillor Eleanor Gibbs told AAP on Thursday.
