Strong winds in Newcastle blew a pool into powerlines, prompting safe removal and fire danger warnings.
On November 11, 2025, strong winds in Newcastle, Australia, blew an inflatable backyard pool into powerlines near Hunter Christian School, prompting Ausgrid to safely remove it without injury or major disruption.
The incident highlighted risks from loose outdoor items during high winds, with utility officials warning that furniture, trampolines, and umbrellas can become dangerous projectiles.
The event followed a weekend lightning-sparked fire in the Hunter Wetlands, leading to an extreme fire danger rating and total fire ban for the region, which was expected to lift by Wednesday.
Weather forecasts predicted shifting winds, possible storms Saturday, showers Sunday, and rough seas up to three meters off the Hunter coast Wednesday due to a moving cold front.
