OSLO (AFP) Aug 15, 2003 Heavy rains and mudslides caused serious damage in central Norway on Friday as two rivers overflowed and floodwaters carried away bridges, railway lines and caravans but there were no victims, officials reported.
Helicopters went into action to locate and evacuate about 100 people stranded amid the floodwaters but no injuries were reported.
The heavy rains followed the hottest July in Norway on record.
