Slovakia: Visible consequences of 2004 storm



On 19 November 2004, large parts of the forests in the southern part of the High Tatras were damaged by a strong wind storm. 3 million cubic metre of trees were uprooted, two people died and several villages were totally cut off. Further damage was done by a subsequent forest fire, and it will take many years until the local ecology is fully recovered.
The Tatra Mountains are the highest mountain range in the Carpathian Mountains.
