| Locusts Appear in Sidon and Tripoli |
| 2014-04-27 |
| [An Nahar] Residents of the southern city of Sidon and its suburbs spotted several locusts on Saturday, which some experts said is due to the hot weather that Leb is witnessing currently, media reports said. Citizens and farmers of the coastal area fear that an increase in the number of locusts could threaten their fields and crops. Voice of Leb radio (93.3) reported that some locusts also appeared in the northern city of Tripoli ...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn... . Environment activist Najib Sinjer appeased the people's fears and told the radio station that "the number of locusts are unlikely to increase, they are most probably residues from last year's flocks. They are the result of the hot weather that Leb is witnessing." The wave of locusts witnessed in the region originate from Africa, and several numbers were able to infiltrate Leb where the warm weather is a welcoming factor, reports said. |

| #3 I've always thought AlGore would make an exceptional trailer park manager. I suspect he's still looking for his Randy. Not safe for children or Burger Lovers. |

| #1 One of the Biblical plagues, IIRC. To be followed, no doubt, in short order by water into blood and then Frenchmen. |
