Last weekend has brought a natural disaster to the natural park of the High Tatras in Slovakia. Strong windstorms (more than 100 mph) and snowstorms have destroyed more than half of the woods in that beautiful area of Europe.

I have been sent some pictures, and it is as if a snow hurricane has gone through the country.

A Czech tourist has died, and many more have been wounded. http://tinyurl.com/6yx3s
