Wednesday night, powerful winds in Los Angeles toppled trees and scaffolding, disrupting traffic and cutting power to thousands of residents.
Tree Damage
Toppled trees were seen in North Hollywood, where a driver crashed into a fallen tree, and in Granada Hills, where a tree fell onto a parked car.
Scaffolding Collapse
In the Fairfax district, strong winds caused scaffolding to collapse. Some of the structure fell onto the construction site, while other pieces landed on the sidewalk of La Brea Avenue. Crews worked overnight to clear the debris.
