Sudden oak death

Hey fellas, I’ve been seeing/hearing about sudden oak death and oak wilt recently. What exactly are these and are they reasons to avoid planting oaks? Any recommendations for safeguarding against? For background, I’m in the triangle area of NC (shoutout Casey).

Ghost Forest

Hi guys, I recently traveled to Alaska in the Kenai Peninsula and saw ghost forests. They were formed during the 1964 earthquake when the land dropped and the water from the ocean poured in. (I'm not saying I'm old, but I remember seeing images of this earthquake on TV.) They explained that the salt water got in the cells of the trees and exploded them, leaving the tree virtually petrified. Some people also used the word "pickled", but the wood is very heavy and stone-like. Can you explain how this happens?
