Nordland has been hit by severe flooding following unprecedented rainfall, causing significant disruption across the region.

In Meløy, the Møbelringen store in Ørnes was inundated with water, leading to extensive damage.

Local authorities declared a state of emergency, urging residents to avoid the town center.

The Meteorological Institute reported that Lurøy experienced its highest November rainfall in 93 years, with 137.2 millimeters recorded in just one day.

Emergency services, including the fire department and volunteers, have been working tirelessly to manage the situation, but the full extent of the damage remains unclear.
