Scorpions have infested Egypt’s southern city of Aswan, killing three people and stinging more than 400.
According to local media, the mass scorpion attack was caused by severe thunderstorms in the city in recent days.
Reports state the scorpions were washed into the streets and peoples’ homes, where they were seeking refuge from the intense weather conditions.
A representative from the Ministry of Health told local press that over 80 people are currently being treated at Aswan University Hospital, while hundreds of others are being treated in other hospitals nearby.
Locals have also raised concerns over the possibility of floods, as the typically dry area does not experience such heavy rainfall.
SNIP
Egypt’s Meteorological Authority say they expect intermittent rainfall to continue in the coming days, as well as thunder, in many parts of south Sinai, and southern Egypt, including cities such as Minya, Assiut, Sohag, and Luxor.

Sounds like they need the Wind of Change to blow in and Rock them like a Hurricane.

I used to have the original “Love at First Sting” album cover before it got censored. (On cassette of course)

I lived outside of Kingman Arizona when I was a kid. Nothing but huge scorpions and rattlesnakes.

Oh my goodness those shoes look ridiculous! In the list of things from the Seventies that are best left forgotten, high heels on men are right up there with bell-bottom leisure suits, and cocaine nosejobs. X.x

LOL, brings back memories! I had a pair of shoes like that, that I didn’t wear much because they hurt my feet so much. I also had a leisure suit the color of Al Bundy’s trousers. I wore them on my first date with my wife of 40yrs. And the leisure suit pants were flairs.
Would’ve made a great Halloween costume today!
