Swedish ski resort suffers severe flooding after river burst its banks

The Susaback River burst its banks after torrential rainfall, flooding a popular ski resort in the town of Åre. Flood waters rushed through the town, inundating roads and leaving shopfronts damaged. This comes after heavy rainfall caused a train to derail and roads to flood in Sweden and Norway. Meteorologists issued red alerts, the most severe warning level, over several days. Warnings say the hardest hit places could receive a month or more worth of rainfall in 24 hours, bringing the worst floods in 50 years for Sweden
