Watch: Scaffolding ripped from Hong Kong building as Typhoon Noul makes landfall
Typhoon Noul arrived in southern China on Sunday morning with severe weather conditions, bringing strong winds and intense rainfall across the region. The storm intensified regional impacts with widespread service disruptions and property damage as it moved through populated areas.
Damage incidents included the structural failure of construction scaffolding on a Hong Kong street, which occurred during the peak of Saturday's extreme conditions without resulting in casualties. Hong Kong's main airport responded by suspending approximately 360 flights to ensure passenger safety. Meteorological data confirms this represents the most powerful typhoon to reach China's coast during the current year.
