In Tyssedal in Hardanger there has been a rock slide, probably from Tveitanuten. – We are going to evacuate four houses, says Inge Rognve, the fire service’s emergency manager at the site, to news. Sixteen people are to be evacuated from the four houses. Ola Børve has emptied the company car that was smashed on Thursday morning of tools. – It is not going anywhere. It’s probably finished, Børve says of the car. The car belongs to an apprentice in Børve’s company. – It’s a good thing the crash happened before the apprentice got into the car. Otherwise, it is of course scary. This cloud of smoke was visible on the other side of the fjord on Thursday morning.
