Norway is bracing for severe weather as orange flood warnings have been issued for parts of Østlandet and Trøndelag.

The Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate (NVE) warns of potential damage comparable to previous extreme weather events.

Meteorologists predict up to 80 mm of rain in some areas, with intense downpours expected to continue through the night.

Residents are advised to avoid travel in affected regions due to potential road closures and landslides.

In Midt-Telemark, residents like Knut Pedersen are already battling rising water levels, fearing further damage.

Authorities urge the public to take precautions, such as securing properties and staying informed through local updates.
