Norway is grappling with severe floods and landslides, leading to the closure of major roads, including the E6 in Ringebu.
A significant landslide, 30 meters wide, has blocked the E6, causing traffic chaos and necessitating detours via riksvei 3 Østerdalen.
The Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate warns of continued flood and landslide risks due to saturated grounds.
Over 30 county roads in Innlandet are closed, and between 25 to 30 people have been evacuated.
The situation has left many isolated, with emergency services on high alert.
Authorities are working tirelessly to assess and clear affected areas, but reopening of roads remains uncertain.
