That is the call from state meteorologist Mariann Foss at the weather forecast in Western Norway, who predicts strong winds throughout the day and evening. Possibly wise advice, but it is not certain.
Here is an excerpt from Vett og Uvett, where he Gammel-Jentoft, living in Yttersia of Lofoten, chose the same strategy:
Letter from Yttersia
During the storm on Yttersia last Sunday, the family on Snauholmen had sought refuge in the basement hole due to the strong wind, which threatened to topple the house.
Only he Gammel-Jentoft had his remains in the attic, where he lived in his old age.
They had broken him to get him down.
As the storm increased, and a windshield was split off on the west, new petitions were sent through the cellar hatch and the attic hole, where he was seen in his hardness. – Jentoft, kon ned, he toes the house!
But Old Jentoft only answered this: “Do not be afraid, but take care of yourselves and your children.”
Then came a stingray anointing that shook the bee off the ledge. Then they cried out like an outrage: “Come down, Jentoft, listen, no do he take the house.”
But the old one was like the bed bench. – Can docks carry docks before? Shut up, docs, you little believers. I want to sleep.
A little later, a storm came and took the bed bench out through the faith, while he himself was shoveled down through the attic hole and the cellar ledge together with the ridge, pieces of the plumb pipe and half a boat stove with heat in it. – There he came, shouted Indianna.
But Old Jentoft plucked plaster out of his eyes, and said as if to himself: “Yes, then he took the house.”
