Powerful winds linked to Typhoon Noul tore multi-storey scaffolding from a building in Hong Kong, creating dramatic scenes along Cheung Sha Wan Road. Police said they received numerous calls after the structure collapsed on Saturday.
No injuries were reported in the incident, according to police. The event highlighted the dangerous conditions in the city as the storm system moved through the region.
Typhoon Noul also made landfall in China. State media described it as the strongest typhoon to come ashore in the country so far this year, underlining the scale of the weather threat.
The Hong Kong scaffolding collapse became one of the most visible signs of the storm's force, with strong gusts causing damage and prompting emergency responses. Authorities continued to monitor conditions as Noul affected southern China.
