Plagues Strike Egypt: Sudden Floods, Then 4-Inch Scorpions Called Deathstalkers

CAIRO — First came the lightning that strobe-lit the Nile skies a pale purply gray. What happened next checked all the boxes for a fierce storm: heavy rain, thunder and flash flooding that sent people scurrying for dry land and crumbled mud-brick houses around Aswan, the largest city in southern Egypt.

Then came the scorpions.

There were hundreds, if not thousands: yellowish four-inchers with as many as six pairs of eyes and a tail full of venom so toxic that the species is known, unscientifically, as the deathstalker. Swept from their desert burrows by the rains, they came skittering into mountainside villages and burst into homes through cracks in the walls, stinging at least 503 people on Friday night alone, according to local officials.

“The floods in the villages of Aswan forced the scorpions out of their hide-outs, and they stung some people,” the administrator of a Facebook page dedicated to community news, Nubia, lamented after the waters had subsided. “O Allah, protect the land.”

Northants makes me think of Alan Moore, his penchant for serpent sticks and the finest qween who’ll never be. No idea what to expect - ticks (?), dinky cottages, big ol’ greeeeeen spaces, better pack their bat and ball

£20 = still in pvt ownership, looks a bit yawn but not my choice - you can bet a hovering warden will get ott ten minutes from closing
