Plagues a Plenty

 

The Plague of Flies   (Painting by James Tissot)
The Gippsland region of Australia has been suffering from plagues of somewhat biblical proportions.

Due to massive flooding, mice and rats have been seeking higher ground.  This has resulted in destructive invasions of human houses, cars, crops and power lines.  One woman even awoke to find a “mouse chewing on her EYEBALL.”

Spiders have also been fleeing the floods.  They do so by spinning webs that hoist them upwards. These blanket the countryside with “cloudlike” goop, ” looking like something out of a horror film.

To make it even worse, insurance companies often refuse to cover such calamities unless they are officially categorized as natural disasters.
