Tasmania is currently under a severe weather warning as damaging winds lash parts of the state, with the BOM warning of possible gusts up to 100km/h.
At 12PM, the BOM said gusts of 80km/h were recorded in Hobart.
The delay comes after Liverpool Street in the CBD was closed for an hour while authorities attended to a wind-damaged building.
