Another 50,000 customers on Endeavour Energy\u2019s network were also without power.<\/p>\n The outages came after a cool change ripped through NSW, with gusts of wind surpassing 80km\/h recorded at Sydney Airport late on Saturday afternoon. The temperature in Sydney had hovered about 30 degrees, accompanied by strong north-westerly winds.<\/p>\n The Bureau of Meteorology has issued a severe weather warning for damaging winds, with peak gusts of up to 100km\/h expected across parts of the state.<\/p>\n Emergency services were called to Gardiner Park in Banksia, about 12 kilometres south of the CBD, about 1.20pm on Saturday after the jumping castle became airborne, a NSW Ambulance spokeswoman said. The children were taken to Sydney Children\u2019s Hospital after being treated by paramedics at the scene.<\/p>\n A preschool-aged boy and girl suffered head injuries, while a baby was treated for minor injuries. A woman was also taken to hospital with minor injuries, the spokeswoman said. All three children were in a stable condition.<\/p>\n This was the second incident involving an airborne jumping castle<\/a> recorded in a matter of hours on Saturday. Two children were injured at a party near Geelong in Victoria in the morning. Both children were taken to hospital with injuries to their upper bodies and were in a stable condition.<\/p>\n Greater Western Sydney and the Blue Mountains were the areas worst hit by the wild winds.<\/p>\n \u201cThere\u2019s currently over 250 fault sites. Crews are currently working to make damaged areas safe before restoration work can commence,\u201d an Endeavour Energy spokeswoman said. The company\u2019s website estimated that power would not be restored until the early hours of Sunday morning.<\/p>\n In a statement, an Ausgrid spokeswoman said most customers were expected to have their power restored by 7pm with the remainder by 11pm.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \u201cThere are currently approximately 40,000 customers without power after strong winds moved through Sydney and the Central Coast this afternoon,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n \u201cHardest-hit areas include Bankstown, Milperra and Revesby where high winds have caused some damage to one of our substations.\u201d<\/p>\n Outages were being experienced right across Sydney, including in Mosman, St Ives, Bellevue Hill, Rosebery and Summer Hill.<\/p>\n Get alerts on breaking news as it happens.
