Default Serious quantities of rain on west coast of southern Norway 15/11-05


New record for Bergen in Norway in November today, 134 mm + !
See http://bt.no (in norwegian) right now. (If you use babelfish you
might find
a service to translate it.)
A station called "Takle" in neighbouring province of Sogn and Fjordane
was close to
200 mm in 24 hour. It might even climb above 200 mm before this is
over!
The bad weather/low causing this has been named 'Loke' in Norway.
Many houses has been crushed or badly damaged by rock/mud slides
caused by the excessive water. Up to 70 major roads closed!

1 person killed, several other construction workers injured when a new
house they were building was totally splintered by a rock/mud slide.
Several thousand persons right now isolated by blocked roads.

The date should of course be 14/11-05. It has just passed midnight when
I
wrote, didn't noticed that...
I personally measured 88 mm at my location in Ørsta,
"Takle" in the province(fylke) south of here seems to have topped out
at
- 198.5 mm!!

OT-
'AFTENPOSTEN' does have some lovely headlines-
Dog robs gas station
A hungry bull terrier with a sweet tooth left his home to make a night
raid on a gas station. The Statoil outlet's security cameras recorded the
dog's stealthy hunt for his favorite type of chocolate, and a security guard
busted the pooch without incident, newspaper Adressavisen reports.


Time to eat crow
A restaurant in Østre Bolærne, an archipelago on the outer fringe of the
Oslo Fjord, has decided on menu innovation to attract new diners.
Female rapist sentenced

The 24-year-old woman found guilty on Thursday of forcing sex on a sleeping
man has been sentenced to eight months in prison by a Bergen court.

This is remarkably close to the UK 24-hour record for an orographic rain
event, the 238.4mm at Sloy on 17th January 1974.
