Default Hurricane 'Dagmar': Gust: 303.3 kph (84.8 m/s) - Kvalheimsfjellet, Norway!

Actually to be precise 305.28 kph.
I'm a bit surprised this hurricane raise no interest on this ng?
It has been the top story in Norway since it happened on the 25th.
In Sweden 170 000 customers lost power, Norway 100 000, and
in Finland 130 000 was without power as late as Wedensday.
So far at least 460 million NOK in insurance claims have
been filed in Norway alone. 3000 are still without phone
in Norway, most have got the power back, but some linger still.
