Tragic Flooding Events in Ringsaker

According to reports from Hamar Arbeiderblad, flooding has wreaked havoc in Ringsaker, particularly impacting the Veldre barnehage's playground. Anita Grønvold Tollefsen commented on the devastating situation saying, “I was very sad. This is just sad. Every time it rains, we experience that the water is badly transported from above.”

Playground Destruction and Community Response

On Monday evening and into Tuesday morning, water inundated the playground, causing a substantial portion to be swept away. The condition of the playground remains uncertain. Although the kindergarten remains open, the playground is now dismantled and unsafe.

  • Last year, extreme weather events caused serious damage to the playground.
  • A new playground had only recently opened on August 28 this year.
  • Community members are stepping up to help with cleanup efforts.

As local residents like Trine Nordsveen shared their experiences, many are now questioning their safety and are considering relocating due to persistent flooding issues.

Continued Challenges and Resilience

Many families are reeling from the impact of the extreme weather. Nordsveen noted that within just 15 minutes, they had about 70 centimeters of water in their basement, affecting their living conditions significantly. The community must now rally together to address these ongoing challenges and support each other through these tough times.
