In the morning, SMHI issued a warning for the entire county that a severe storm was approaching.
The calm before the storm lasted until just before five o'clock in the afternoon, when the sky suddenly opened.
In just one hour, the rescue service received calls about six villas in Edsbyn whose basement floors had been flooded with several centimeters of water.
- I have lived here since 1985 and I have never seen any worse storms.
The sky has opened - thunder and rain.
The lawn looks like a rice field, it is no longer a lawn, says Per Wikblad, the rescue service's task leader on site.
The rescue service has collected vacuum cleaners and water pumps to help the residents of Edsby.
