Tiny frogs force temporary closure of major highway
In Thessaloniki, Greece, officials were baffled when a near biblical deluge (think Moses, Egypt, and a mountain of amphibians) of frogs spilled into a major thoroughfare. The Egnatia highway in northern Greece was closed for two hours following three accidents where motorists skidded off the highway while trying to dodge the frogs.
According to the traffic police chief Giorgos Thanoglou, tiny frogs covered the road by the “millions.” He further commented, “There was a carpet of frogs.”
Well, the authorities said that the frog problem was probably brought about when the tiny critters from the nearby lake went in search of food, so there’s probably little chance of rivers flowing red from blood, hail, and gnats and flies.
