All in ruins: « This is a huge damage »
The headquarters of the manufacturing company True North suffered a great deal of damage over the weekend as a wave of waves at Grandi destroyed the premises. According to the chairman of the company, the Fax Gulf Harbor has often been talked about that the defense gardens in front of the housing need to be raised.
Some companies located in the building on Fiskislöd 31 suffered significant damage after the waves covered the defense garden in front of the premises. The waves followed a lot of stones and kelp that broke the window and reached it into the building.
Come temporarily for elsewhere
« This is a huge shock and just a significant shock also for staff who came to it like this, » says chairman Guðjón Ómar Davíðsson in a conversation with mbl.is
On the next steps, Gudjon says that there is hope for conversations with the insurance company, Faxaflóahafnir and then potential natural disaster insurance to see how the company can be compensated for the damage it faces.
« Right now we're just going to take care of and get elsewhere while this is going on. »

Are there repeated suggestions then?
« The homeowner has been with this – let's hear what they have to say – but at least they have talked to them many times and they have often had to clean stones here. »
Then he says the defense yard has been partially raised by the Gulf of Faxi, but it « has not worked better than this. »
