When the Estensen family went to take a closer look at “Ingunn”, they spotted something completely different than high waves and overturned lampposts.

At least 70 fish have been washed ashore in Flatanger municipality in Trøndelag, estimates Reidar Estensen (74).

– They were small, but very many. Without exaggerating, I think there were at least 70 pieces. I didn’t look that much, because it was a bit sad, says Reidar to VG.

He says that it is mainly redfish that have been washed ashore, in addition to other types of fish such as flounder and tusk.

– Firstly, redfish red-listed. Secondly, there are huge numbers of tourists fishing for redfish in Flatanger. This was supposed to be the redfish of the future, says Reidar.

– How was it to see this?

– It was macabre and shocking, Reidar replies.

Reidar’s daughter, Tove Estensen (52), was also on the walk at 10 o’clock on Thursday.

– We have heard of something similar before. As we walked, we suddenly saw that the shore was full of fish. I thought “yes, it actually works”. There have been really high seas here, she says.

Reidar also says that there has been violent weather in Flatanger in connection with “Ingunn”:

– Several boathouses and roofs have come to an end – she was strong. There are still around 22.8 second meters in the throws here, claims Reidar as of 8.15pm on Thursday.

Also Flatanger news has mentioned the matter.

In Bodø it was hurricane force – see video:
