Just found this small video clip on You Tube:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VW-87CAi5SU

The video footage have been captured most probably some hours after max
force of the storm.
It was a bordering Cat 2/3 after the Safir-Simpson scale.
Max gust about 230 km/h.
Shows just a tiny bit of the damage.

The storm "Yngve" is hitting Lofoten/Nordland in Norway at the moment but
will not
be like the NewYearHurricane of -92...
