Norwegian woman captures dramatic footage of avalanche cascading towards her house

This dramatic footage was captured by a Norwegian woman as an avalanche cascaded towards her house.

Gunn Gravem Isaksen, 48, was at home in the town of Furugrenda in central Norway when the avalanche was triggered, sending a wall of snow towards her home.

But instead of fleeing for her life, the shop manager rushed to her porch and started filming.

Ms Gravem Isaksen admitted the video “looks dramatic” but said nobody had been injured.

The town where she lives lies at the foot of Kufonna mountain in a region widely known for early spring avalanches.

“We’re used to avalanches here, but this one was huge,” she said.

“And no-one was in danger at any moment; we (in the town) were not threatened.”
