Wind speeds up to 100km/h hit Singleton around 1pm today and it was areas at Singleton Heights that felt the brunt of the damage.
One woman called State Emergency Service (SES) volunteers after she feared the tiled roof of her Berry close home.
“I just heard this loud crack and I thought the roof was going to blow off,” Rosemary Little said.
She was impressed with the immediate response of SES volunteers.
“I don’t know what I would have done without them,” she said after they used sandbags to secure loose tiles.
The SES had already been involved in two similar jobs earlier in the day before being called to assist with a large job in Denman after a home received significant roof damage.
Meanwhile, around the corner in Brooker Close, one home owner was shocked to watch his children’s trampoline get picked up by the wind, blow over his neighbour’s fence and crash into the property’s colourbond gate and fencing causing significant damage.
A brick and colourbond fence was blown over in the wind and garbage bins were blown across neighbourhoods.
Several limbs from trees in Burdekin Park have also snapped.
