Most people are unaffected, except that we do not get much other news
in TV/radio/papers. The flood is located to a small area in eastern
Norway.
A lot of noise from journalists writing about the "thousand year
flood", which have occurred approx 5 times this century. The main road
between Trondheim and Oslo (E6) was closed for a few days.
The flood is, of course, a tragedy for those involved. However, the
same areas were flooded in 1916, 1934, 1966, 1967 - and it should
"never" happen again. (Why do they build houses right there?)
