"A dam in Norway has partly collapsed as the country battles record high river
levels, flooding and landslides after a fatal storm.
Norwegian police were considering blowing up the dam when water from the Glåma
River, the country’s longest, started spilling out the side at Braskereidfoss
hydroelectric power plant.
It comes after a powerful storm – named Hans – that has caused chaos across
northern Europe in recent days, and left southern Norway in crisis after
widespread flooding and landslides. River levels expected to continue rising
into Thursday.
A woman in her 70s died on Wednesday after falling into a stream and 700-800
people were evacuated from Innlandet, the district which also includes
Braskereidfoss.
All main roads between Oslo and Trondheim were closed on Wednesday."
