Storm rage north to south

While residents of northern Norway were battening down the hatches in the face of hurricane-force winds, thousands at the southern tip of the country were without power after heavy snowfall.
The near-hurricane conditions in northern Norway forced the closure of numerous roads and highways, and the cancellation of ferry lines and flights. Emergency crews in Hammerfest worked through the night to help residents secure buildings, while construction ceased at most building sites in Bodø and other northern cities.
