Dolomites and Logging

There seem to be fallen trees and logging going on everywhere in the Dolomites. Sam said it reminded her of the Lorax.  I did some research and here is the reason.....
In October 2018, the Dolomites were hit by a devastating hurricane - Tempesta Vaia. Winds up to 200km/hr caused widespread damage to villages, houses and roads, and there were several deaths. Millions and millions of trees were toppled. Forestry workers and sawmills are struggling to deal with the massive amount of timber that needs removing and storing.
