The police write that there has been a report of a possible large ice jam/snow jam moving down the mountain in Høyanger by the old water pipes. – Melder has lived in Høyanger for over 40 years and has never seen anything like this, says head of operations in the West police district, Tore-Andre Brakstad. – If this comes down at great speed towards Hydro itself, it could have the potential to damage Hydro. We think this may have something to do with old water pipes, he says. County Road 55 is closed in the town. – We have a dialogue with Hydro about what may need to be evacuated. The plug is still in the mountain side, says the operations manager at 09.50.
