It has been windy here before, but not like now. I have never seen the wind throw so much sea onto land.

Meteorologist on duty in Northern Norway, Elise Gloppen Hunnes, says the weather will be fiercer now than it was earlier in the week. – Yes, especially for parts of Nordland and Lofoten and Vesterålen it will get worse. There is wind from a new direction, so it can quickly hit slightly different parts than those that have been hit previously.

This is what the hazard warning looks like after an update from the Meteorologists on Wednesday afternoon.
