Many people have had to leave their homes because of landslides and flood in Southern Norway. The Road Administration has lost the track of the number of closed roads.

Several places in southern Norway report serious incidents associated with the storm and heavy rain. In Lyngdal, around 20 people were evacuated after a river flooded on Monday.

Agder police published a warning on Monday to drivers about very difficult driving conditions in the region.




More flooding at Marnadal, in the hills above Norway’s southern coast.
