With trees stopping traffic on roads and properties sustaining damage as a result of the strong winds, they were required to attend a number of important call outs.

One of the most pressing matters they dealt with was a tree, which fell and blocked off the heavily-used Wybong Road on Friday night.

Four SES members quickly made their way to the scene to remove the danger and reopen the route to allow free-flowing traffic through the area.

A further four incidents occurred throughout the weekend, including having to resume transit on Bureen Road, which was also being hampered by a fallen tree.

Roofs, a common victim of drastic conditions, were reported to be tearing or, in some cases, ripping off completely, but were also aptly re-secured to avoid any harm being caused.

Muswellbrook SES unit commander John Ward said it was an active weekend but they were well prepared for it.

"It may be a little bit out of the ordinary compared to what we normally get," he said.

"We were given a heads up roughly around Wednesday afternoon that there was some severe weather heading our way, so we gave our volunteers a bit of a heads up for anyone that might have been able to assist.

"So, we did have a little bit of knowledge that something was coming in and we were prepared."
