Norway is grappling with its most formidable storm in over thirty years, as hurricane-force winds sweep through various regions of the Scandinavian nation, reaching gusts of up to 180 kilometres (112 miles) per hour. Near Laerdal, a quaint town situated northeast of Bergen, Norway's second-largest city, a bus carrying fourteen passengers was forcefully pushed off a road during the early hours of Thursday, as confirmed by police, yet fortunately, no injuries were reported.

Several areas experienced flooding, prompting airlines and ferry operators to halt services. Additionally, there were scattered reports of school closures, along with road, tunnel, and bridge shutdowns, both on Wednesday and Thursday.
