– The others in the house woke up to the house shaking. There was a lot of mud on both sides of the house. It sounded like it was really windy outside, but I slept just as well, says Birgitte Lie to news. She is one of the six evacuees after the landslide that took place in the Bromma area in Nesbyen last night. There were a total of six people in the house, including Lie’s two children. – They woke me up, so we just had to rush out, says Lie, who is now with his parents in the same town. – Did you experience it as dramatic? – It’s a bit disgusting when you see pictures, because you think it was luck that the landslide came where it did. That not everything came to the house, says Lie. Birgitte Lie is one of the evacuees who get to retrieve personal belongings after the landslide.
