Three people have died and almost 500 were injured following a scorpion swarm in Egypt's southern city of Aswan caused by thunderstorms since Friday, bringing many of them onto the streets and into peoples' homes. Many of the attacks occurred in the mountainous areas of the governorate.

A representative from the Ministry of Health told Egypt's Al-Ahram that 89 people were hospitalised at Aswan University Hospital, with hundreds of others receiving treatment in nearby hospitals. It has also been reported that doctors have been recalled from vacation in order to treat the scorpion stings. Additional doses of anti-venom have also been allocated to medical centres in more remote locations.

On Friday, Aswan's governor Ashraf Attia temporarily barred ships on the River Nile and Lake Nasser from travelling too close to the city. He also ordered the temporary closure of some roads due to reports of reduced vision caused by the storms. Road and vessel traffic resumed on Saturday.

Local residents have been advised to stay away at home and avoid places with many trees. A combination of heavy rainfall, dust storms and rare snowfall has heightened fears of the possibility of floods.

Egypt's fat-tailed scorpions are considered to be among the most deadly in the world. Venom from a black fat-tail can kill humans in under an hour if left untreated. Symptoms related venomous scorpion stings can include difficulty breathing, muscle twitching and unusual head movements.

I live in Florida and I didn't vote for him. I guarantee he doesn't want anything in Florida audited. That's how he got in. Just ask his daddy.

My family had reservations to see Aladdin and spend the week after Christmas in NYC. We had to cancel everything because of that crap. I’ll just find a state that wants my money I guess.

I really don't believe OBL was killed by that dude. Not sure he was killed at all in fact.

The only problem I see is that the HR recruiter that is seeing your resume doesn't make the policy nor is he /she going to share with those that are. There is basically no way for the action to cause change. But if it makes you feel better then go for it!

Our definitions of "Proof" must be different.

"People just did not engage in casual sex and masturbation purely for physical pleasure." So 400,000 at woodstock in 69. Tells me for quite some time people were having sex and pulling it for pleasure long before the 70's. Hippies were making love not war remember.

My wife did her Masters at a Christian college. All her assignments had to have a reflection that came from the Bible. She used the app a lot that had different Bibles on it. She noticed on her own that when she would look at one then another, they would not only use different words but the meaning changed when doing so. Since the first english translation was king james i would stick to that unless you can read greek or Hebrew. It's probably the closest to an accurate translation of the original.
