– I thought, my God, is it really our roof, or someone else’s? What is going on? says Camilla Moe Thorsen. She and her roommate live in Rørvik in Trøndelag, where there have been wind gusts of up to 47 meters per second. On the night of Thursday, they were woken up at 2 o’clock by a violent crash. – It slammed and it slammed, then I saw that the insulation and suspended ceiling flew, she says. Photo: Torger Ramfjord Panicked Thorsen is heavily pregnant and is due in four days. – I was a bit shaken, because I was afraid I would go into labor because of the storm, and not get over the bridge because of the wind, says Thorsen. – Then there was a knock on the door and they said we had to evacuate. Then I actually completely panicked. I was not ready to leave the apartment A total of 15 people were evacuated from the apartment complex. Thorsen and his roommate have been admitted to Kysthotellet in Rørvik. – How was the weather in Rørvik last night and last night? – Absolutely awful. I’ve never come across anything like that before. I think it was up to 47 meters per second and the rain was lashing the walls. The trees outside the window were almost bent over because of the wind, she says. Although she lives some distance from the bridge in Rørvik, she could hear it “singing”. Wind gusts of 51.5 meters per second Nordøyan lighthouse in Rørvik and Sklinna lighthouse in Leka municipality have had the strongest measurements, with wind gusts of 51.5 meters per second. That’s what Adresseavisen writes. – It is 185 kilometers per hour, which is a very strong gust of wind, says on-duty meteorologist Alexander Skeltved to the newspaper. – It is clearly Trøndelag that has had the worst.

The weather is not finished. The municipal director in Flatanger has investigated damage after the extreme weather “Ingunn” in the municipality. Roof of nursing home blown off Several roads are closed and ferries canceled in Trøndelag due to the extreme weather “Ingunn”. – There have been enough incidents to deal with, throughout the night, says traffic operator in the National Road Administration Henrik Haugland. In Flatanger, large parts of the roof structure of a nursing home have been blown away by the wind. There is no danger to life and health, but the water is starting to seep in. Think the damage is greater The police in Trøndelag have received a number of reports about the hurricane last night, but they believe that the damage may be greater than their log shows. – We have received an estimated 40 to 50 assignments that we have about extreme weather conditions. It’s everything from trees blocking the road, to barn doors blowing in and silos that have been moved in the way, says Gaasvik.
