text: Dramatic pictures have emerged of a woman being rescued from her car which had become submerged in flood waters following Saturday afternoon's severe storms. The woman was one of two people that had become trapped in rising waters at Zetland in Sydney's inner-east, that was spotted by the same police rescue squad officer on his way to work. She was helped out of the vehicle by the officer and his co-worker at about 6.30pm and did not suffer any injuries. Superintendent Paul Johnston from Fire and Rescue NSW told Daily Mail Australia that the incident was just one of many flash flooding rescues that emergency services had attended from 4pm. 'At the height of the storm we had two hundred calls in the system, mostly about flooding in people' homes and businesses, rescues from flash flooding - in the inner city they're not as dangerous because people are just trapped in their cars and not at risk of being swept away - and automatic fire alarms,' Supt Johnston said. The second round of wild weather in New South Wales came after just two days of clear skies and transformed parts of Sydney and the Blue Mountains into snowfields. Marble-sized hailstones pummelled multiple suburbs in the city's east and west on Saturday evening, coating streets and backyards in sleet despite only lasting from about 4pm until 7pm. Blackheath residents in the Blue Mountains, about 100km west of Sydney, reported hailstones up to 2cm in size, while social media users shared surreal images of snowmen and even snowboarders on the streets of Sydney. Seven buildings collapsed in western Sydney after suffering damage from the storm, with Fire and Rescue crews expected to work through the night to assess the damage. Scroll down for video .

'There's still going to be stormy weather next week and so now is the time to prepare so that you don't find yourself with a hefty bill for damages that you could have prevented,' Sue Pritchard said. A statement from the SES on Saturday night added: 'Strong winds are expected tomorrow in parts of Western Sydney, the Blue Mountains and the Hawkesbury. 'With the recent heavy rains the ground is saturated meaning it is more likely that trees may fall. The winds may also blow around any inadequately secured items such as tarping, storm debris or loose roof sheeting from the storms earlier in the week.'
