In a startling incident this afternoon, a colossal tree branch came crashing down onto a residential property in Cessnock, prompting the urgent intervention of a crane to mitigate the damage.
The Cessnock City Unit State Emergency Service (SES) team was initially dispatched to assess the situation.
