Typhoon Noul Collapses Scaffolding in Hong Kong
Typhoon Noul was a very strong storm that hit Hong Kong.
It had winds so powerful that they knocked down a big scaffolding structure on the side of a building.
The scaffolding fell apart very quickly, making a lot of noise and dust.
Luckily, no one was hurt.
The storm also caused many problems in the city, like canceling flights and knocking down trees.
After the storm passed, things slowly went back to normal.
Typhoon Noul caused the collapse of multi-storey scaffolding in Hong Kong.
The scaffolding collapsed along Cheung Sha Wan Road, creating a cloud of dust and debris.
No injuries were reported despite the dramatic collapse.
Typhoon Noul had maximum sustained winds of around 155 km/h (96 mph).
The storm disrupted transport, canceled 360 flights, and triggered a No. 9 storm warning.
