Floodwaters slam Norway

Floodwaters sweep through western Norway.

Heavy rains cause severe flooding, cutting off villages and leaving some residents stranded.

It's been a trauma.

(SOUNDBITE)(Norwegian) JAN NORDLI, FLOOD VICTIM SAYING: "It is very exhausting. At this moment I feel tired. But the worst thing is that … Well, it hurts. Everyone's hurt. That's the worst part."

Authorities have tracked down the stranded -- rescuing a 93 year-old woman.

She is later taken to safety by helicopter.

Norwegian authorities have warned people to stay off the roads and keep away from exposed areas, as flooding continues to cause havoc and destruction.
