120.000 m2 set to fall down from "The man" mountain today, see
www.nrk.no/mr
Seems like in some places there has never been more water, e.g. Voss.

Hi Bjorn, that's a lot of rain! Don't forget to let us know when you get
your first heavy snowfall ;-)

That was not rain I was refering to, rather rock! The mountain " The
man" (norwegian:"Mannen") is now strongly affected by rain water
seeping into its cracks. So it seems bound to come tumbling down
within this season. To the geologists baffelement it didn't come down
yesterday, and not so far today. A large presscore from Norway and
abroad is now constantly following the situation. It will be the
equivalent of about 400.000 cars (weightwise) come tumbling down from
11-1200 meters into the Romsdal valley below.

But today Norway is more baffeled by the almost catastrophic effect of
100mm+ rain and heavy snowmelt that devastated the towns of Odda, Flåm
and partly Voss, Norheimsund, Lærdak, Årdal and Førde among others
yestetday and today. Over 10 houses disappeared in the raging waters,
more are set to go and hundreds of people evacuated. Some peolple were
inches of loosing their lives in the raging rivers.
