– I had showered and had breakfast before I had to go to work. Then I looked down at the car that I was soon going out for a drive in, and didn’t think anything more about it, says Thorbjørn Nymo. But then the house began to rock, and some strong gusts of wind shook the walls. – And suddenly the car was gone. “What has happened here”, I thought. The storm has fully hit Northern Norway: Folkebladet mentioned the incident first. Thrown far away Nymo, who is the general manager and owner of Bardufoss hotel, lives in Målsnes in Målselv municipality. – At first I wondered if someone had been so idiotic that they had broken in and stolen an old transporter. Thorbjørn Nymo is general manager at Bardufoss hotel. He was going about his morning routine when his car suddenly disappeared. Photo: private His house is close to the sea, and he has felt the wind picking up all weekend. But not like this. – When I looked up, I saw that the car was on its side down by the main road. – The car has blown around in a pirouette, and then been pushed sideways 10-12 meters down a slope. Before it lay neatly on its side down on the road, Nymo explains. Thorbjørn Nymo’s car flew off and ended up on its side down the road.

He contacted NAF, who came quite quickly to turn the car around and put it back in place. – The car doesn’t look good now, the entire right side has been scraped up. But it is drivable, so I don’t have to rent a car.
