Your Weather Isn't So Bad. In Brazil, It's Raining Spiders
2/11/2013
A ton of snow got dumped on the East Coast this weekend and, as it goes, everyone freaked out. But compared to the weather in Brazil, 30 inches of snow is a BLESSING. Last week, in Santo Antonio da Platina in southern Brazil, it RAINED SPIDERS. Seriously.
According to a biologist, the spiders are a species that have massive colonies and weave huge sheets of webs together. So it looked like they were raining, but really it was just a ton of spiders weaving big sheets of spider webs.
There's a video online, and if you have arachnophobia, even MILD arachnophobia, don't watch it. Just imagine stepping outside and seeing a sky full of floating spiders.
