Norway evacuated thousands of people as rivers swelled to their highest levels in at least 50 years on Wednesday and homes and businesses were submerged or swept away by landslides.
Major roads were closed and train services suspended across wide parts of southern Norway as rivers breached their banks, and authorities warned of more flooding to come in the days ahead as the water moves towards lower-lying coastal regions.

Be safe, friends!
I feel like there’s only ten countries across the globe currently NOT dealing with unprecedented/extreme weather.
Feels bad man.
Feel you bros.
Hans is insane. Even here in western Sweden (Gothenburg) the rain smattered against my window like a machine gun. Never heard anything like it.
I hope one day we can control the weather. This way we can send this rain to drought-stricken countries.
