Heavy rainfall in Midt-Telemark, Norway, has led to severe flooding, prompting the local government to declare a crisis.
A house in Breskeliveien is on the verge of collapsing due to water erosion, forcing the evacuation of nearby homes.
Fortunately, no injuries have been reported.
The flooding has also caused a bridge to collapse and submerged several camping sites, including Beverøya Camping, where guests are being evacuated.
Authorities are urging the public to stay away from affected areas to avoid unnecessary risks.
A police helicopter has been deployed to assess the situation as the community grapples with the aftermath of the extreme weather.
