The lamp post was located in the flowerbed around the Disneyland flagpole and is used for stage lighting during parades and shows along Main Street U.S.A., the Orange County Register reported.

The incident occurred amid strong winds that moved into the Southland on Sunday and lingered into Monday.

Disney blog, WDW News Today, reported that the lamp post was removed just after 10 a.m., and Disneyland used vehicles to block off half of the Town Square area at the park.

The park remains open and is expected to close at midnight.
