In Gjerdsvika on Sunnmøre, parts of a barn roof have blown off. – There were no animals in the barn, but there are loose roof tiles in the area, so we ask people to stay inside, says Paul Ola Vestre of the Fire Service.

It must be extreme today. What are they waiting for in the afternoon? – It is difficult to say. Based on experience, it is likely that some trees will be blown over and end up on the roads, several bridges and ferry connections may possibly be closed. We just have to take it as it comes. In Trøndelag, they expect that the traffic will feel the weather more in the evening. And they are well prepared for it. – Staffing is guaranteed both this evening and tonight and early tomorrow. In addition, we have been in good contact with emergency authorities both in Møre and Romsdal and Trøndelag, established good communication channels there, and of course been in dialogue with all contractors along all roads to take the precautions that can be taken. Here you can see how strong the wind is along the entire coast right now. – I’m afraid At the very end of the Trøndelag coast, the wind has started to pick up on Wednesday afternoon. On Titran, on the island of Frøya, the waves crash into the rock and the water foams in the strong wind. Over the course of the evening, the wind will become even stronger. – I’m afraid it will be quite intense. I’m terrified, I have to admit that, says Astrid Reppe. She is among the permanent residents of the former fishing village. In the hours before the storm hits the coast, she has made sure to secure things she has around the house. – I am quite safe in the terrain. But with such powers as reported, I am skeptical. Astrid Reppe has secured her property, and is worried about the weather that will hit on Wednesday evening. Photo: Bjarte M. Johannesen / news
