Two houses narrowly escaped a fire that occurred in Hafnarfjörður today, west of Alcoa Smelter in Straumsvík. Sheep pen and a barn as well as a vehicle were damaged in the fire. Two houses narrowly escaped the fire. The fire spread significantly fast, but the ground is very dry.

Caused by reckless use of fireworks

Arnardóttir says that people don't realize how dry it's been and that no one, of course, intends this to happen. She tells everyone in shock who's involved.

Hope to finish putting out all the fires today

Four firefighters were patrolling the fire in Hafnafjörður last night. Special protection lines have been put in place to limit the spread of the fire.

A muddy flood fell in Patreksfjörður today around 10 AM this morning. No houses or persons were affected.

The flood fell down the same path as the flood that hit Patreksfjörður in 1983, but the muddy flood today was much smaller in magnitude.

There is relatively little snow in the mountain above the town, but the situation is still being assessed and the area is closed. Residents are asked to stay away from the flood course, since the possibility of flooding cannot be ruled out. No evacuation is considered necessary at this time.

The Coordination Centre in Skógarhlíð has been activated and the Civil Protection Threat Level in Patreksfjörður has been declared. The Director of Police, in agreement with the Westfjords Police Commissioner, has also declared the Civil Protection Threat Level due to the flood.

On Sunday, 40 years had passed since the devastating flood in Patreksfjörður on January 22 nd 1983 which claimed four lives and causes severe damages to houses and property. Last Sunday there was a memorial service held in the town in honor for the four people who died that day, forty years ago.

A lot of buildings and vehicles were badly damaged in the storm on Sunday. Damages are visible all over the town, broken windshields, roof damages all over, mostly in the industrial buildings.

Ragnar Sigurðsson, a municipal representative in Reyðarfjörður, went outdoors yesterday to see the damages and take pictures. He went driving and could really feel the wind in his car. People have been advised to stay indoors until the wind subsides, so there have mostly been volunteers in the rescue teams that have been seen in the town.

"The weather here is horrible. One of the wartime huts of the War Musem collapsed and the Byko building has had a lot of damages. Furthermore, there are damages in Mjóeyrarhöfn port and the Fire Station. The same goes for the Eimskip building."

He says containers flying around in the wind. "You could say that this is like a warzone at the moment. I have never experienced anything like this. Whole hedges have been uprooted and taken by the wind."

Not a normal workday on Monday

The wind comes in powerful gusts, but Sigurðsson said that the wind was supposed to go a bitdown Sunday evening. However, there will still be weather alerts in place on Monday.

The Department of Civil Protection and Emergency Management had a meeting on Sunday to decide whether schools would be open on Monday. When it comes to people going to work, he said it was clear that people would not have normal workdays on Mondays, because with the town in such a state, most people will probably be cleaning up the mess.

"We will finally see the overall pictures of what happened here when the weather goes down, but it is clear that we have suffered a lot of damages."

Vonden er 1400 aardbevingen plaats rond de vulcaan/ glestjer Herðubreið. Dit soort kleine aardbevingen komen vaak voor in ijsland omdat het op de grens van twee platen ligt. De aardbevingen waren licht en ongevaarlijk.

Dit soort aardbevingen zijn zeer typerend voor Ijsland, want het land is bekend om zijn aardbevingen, die vaak voorkomen als gevolg van de ligging van IJsland op de Mid-Atlantische Rug.

Platen spelen hier dus een belangrijke rol. IJsland ligt op de grens van de Noord-Amerikaanse en Euraziatische platen, die voortdurend bewegen en wrijven tegen elkaar. Dit zorgt voor regelmatige aardbevingen, waarvan sommige behoorlijk sterk kunnen zijn. De magnitude (de intensitijd) van deze aardbevingen varieert.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
In total there have 1,400 earthquakes occurred in the vicinity of Herðubreið since the earthquakes started last Saturday. Of these, nearly 200 have occurred since midnight. Apart from the largest earthquake of 4.1M that struck on Saturday night, two have registered magnitudes greater than 3.
