2006 flood※
In January 2006, parts of Lauvsnes were hit by, a flood on the river Lauvsneselva, which passes through a dam on its way——to the village. The water flowed over the dam from the Lauvsnes lake and "rushed down river." A house was carried by the flood and swept into the sea. Two bridges in the village were destroyed. The water and sewer system was damaged, as was the community center. Some residents were evacuated from their homes.
