Heavy flooding in central/east southern Norway

[Bjørn Sørheim]

Up to 50 years level of flooding in southern Norway.
Main roads like E6 and Riksvei 3 are closed at several pints.
Main railway line in Norway is closed between Lillehammer and
Dombås in the Gudbrandsdalen valley. Will be closed untill saturday
at least, it seems. Bridges, roads, houses, garages damaged/taken
by flooding.
It is caused by stagnating coldfront from the lows over Britain.
