OAK TREE DOWN 

RESIDENTS on Thompson Street between French Street and Martin Street were left without power briefly on Sunday morning when a large oak tree fell from the Hamilton Botanic Gardens. Standing 20-30 metres tall with a 1.15m wide trunk and 15-20m canopy, the fallen tree covered the width of Thompson Street. Photo: SUPPLIED.

THOMPSON Street was blocked off for several hours on Sunday after an oak tree in the Hamilton Botanic Gardens fell over the road in the middle of the night.
