Mount Thom has an elevation of 250 meters and we can only imagine the winds that must have been howling during Fiona’s landfall to bring down that number of trees.
Trees devastated by Hurricane Juan in 2003 left a lot of dead debris on forest floors. Forest fires were more severe due to the tinder dry debris in the years following.
