A few hundred homes in different places in Eastern Norway were without electricity for short periods due to the storm. In Oslo, the heavy lightning and thunderstorm started around 11 pm.
– At Vinderen in Oslo, three children had to be checked at the emergency room after lightning had struck close to them. They camped outside, says operations manager Vidar Pedersen in the Oslo police to NTB.
Lightning struck two detached houses in Bærum, but no one was injured. In a home at Bærums Verk, the molding in the house came loose after the lightning strike, reports Budstikka.
Ina Ynnesdal, meteorologist at StormGeo, says TV 2 that the heavy thunderstorm came a little surprisingly.
– It is surprising that there is so much impact. Thunderstorms have been expected, with a building area from the west that is now inland in Eastern Norway. It has really developed with tremendous force over the Oslo area, says the meteorologist.
