Natural disaster in High Tatra

Many parts of High Tatra Mountains areas were declared natural disaster areas after a savage storm killed two people and left a trail of damage across the national Park.

Numerous people were injured, roads were blocked, thousands of cubic meters of trees were ripped off. Many houses were damaged or blacked out and train lines were cut during the wild Friday thunderstorm.
