A powerful storm has caused widespread disruption across Norway, particularly in Vestlandet and Trøndelag.

Over 18,000 households in Trøndelag are without power, with some areas also losing mobile and internet connectivity.

The storm, marked by hurricane-force winds and heavy rainfall, has led to road closures, including major routes like E39 and E134, and isolated thousands of residents.

In Trøndelag, the ski World Championships in Granåsen faced challenges, with strong winds damaging infrastructure and delaying events.

Authorities have issued red and orange weather warnings, urging residents to stay indoors and avoid travel.

Emergency crews are working tirelessly to restore power and clear roads, but the situation remains critical in many areas.
