High water flow

Varsom.no writes that the flow of water is increasing in most of the rivers in Agder and in the southwest in Telemark. In addition, they write that the flow of water will also increase in Viken and in parts of the interior.

Also, the site recommends staying away from flooded streams and rivers.

A yellow warning was also issued for floods and landslides in parts of southern and eastern Norway.

Power issues

Furthermore, the weather caused more than 1,000 homes to lose electricity in eastern Norway.

– We had a blackout at 20.29 in Lillehammer. There are 984 customers without power, Elvia’s communications manager Morten Schau told TV 2.

He says the strong winds have likely led to the challenges.

– We assume it is a tree that has flown over the line. But we have people trying to figure out where the blame is, he continued.

At 11:00 pm, Elvia states on her website that the feeding problems have been fixed.
