Wild Winds Hit The Hunter

BY IAN  CROUCH

 Last night's gale force winds have kept the State Emergency Service fairly busy across the Hunter.

They were called out to nearly 60 jobs - mainly fallen trees, damaged rooves and trampolines and fences which had blown away.

Wind gusts reached 91 kilometres per hour at Nobbys and Williamtown at about midnight.

A severe weather warning for damaging winds remains in place, however the Weather Bureau expects conditions to ease throughout today.
