Hurricane Hits Norway
20-Sep-2005

Hurricane Maria moved across the Atlantic and, still intact as
a category 1 hurricane, struck the coast of Norway on September
15, causing widespread flooding and leaving one person dead.

Maria hit the western shores of Scandinavia with winds of 60
miles an hour.

"The hurricane didn't touch the American coasts and has
therefore maintained a large portion of its energy as it
crossed the Atlantic," the Swedish Meteorological and
Hydrological Institute said in a public advisory on its website.

The Finnish Meteorological Institute also issued a storm
warning for the northern part of the Baltic Sea, and passenger
ferries between Helsinki and Estonia were docked to avoid the
high seas.

The hurricane was expected to sweep over the south and
southeast of Finland Wednesday evening, and FMI warned that it
could also cause flooding inland.

It is extremely unusual for hurricanes to remain intact all the
way into cold northern waters.
