"Norway's Record-Breaking Storm Ingunn Leaves Trail of Destruction"

Storm Ingunn, one of Norway’s strongest in 30 years, swept through the country with record winds, leaving tens of thousands without power and disrupting travel across the region. With a central pressure dropping to 944 millibars, equivalent to a strong hurricane, the storm set wind speed records, including a maximum of 122 mph in Norway and gusts as high as 140 mph. The storm, intensified by a "sting jet," is part of a stormy season in western and northern Europe, with signals pointing to colder and stormier risks growing continent-wide heading into February.
