Norway experienced its most powerful storm in over 30 years, with hurricane-force winds reaching up to 180 kilometers per hour, causing widespread damage including ripped-off roofs, power outages, and heightened avalanche risks. The storm, named Ingunn, also affected parts of Sweden, leading to school closures and significant disruptions to transportation. The Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate issued its highest avalanche warnings for most of southern and central Norway, while the full extent of the storm damage is yet to be determined.
