Scorpions Swarm Egyptian City Following Storm, Sting Hundreds of People

Following a storm that swept over the region, a city in southern Egypt found itself under siege from a swarm of scorpions that scurried into the community and stung more than 500 people.

As residents struggled to deal with the fallout from the inclement weather, they were soon faced with a more troubling problem as the storm caused the region's scorpion population to flee their underground burrows and take shelter inside people's homes.
