The scaffolding was part of a pedestrian walkway alongside the construction, news outlets quoted New Orleans Homeland Security Director Collin Arnold as saying. One person was taken from the site and hospitalized with minor injuries, said New Orleans emergency services personnel.
High winds also shattered two revolving doors at office buildings in the Central Business District. Video shows the doors turning then the glass shattering. No injuries were reported.
