First Floods Now Locusts

I woke up this morning and stumbled around the house before turning on a light.  As soon as I did I thought I was in a film from some stupid horror movie.  The kitchen, living room and hallway were covered with something.  At first it looked like piles of dirt maybe.  I looked again and something moved.  At first I swore it was the wind moving the dirt.  Then I looked closer and saw that one was a wing of something maybe an inch long.  With a body the size of an ant hundreds of these bugs were covering the ground in the house mostly dead but some moving.  I am not sure if the babies were moving of they had shed their wings to move.  I turned on the light in my room and found more.  Tom said there were a couple dozen in his room.  One of my thoughts was that I may have offended somebody with my last post.  Did I start something biblical?  So I rushed to the tap to see if the water had turned to blood or wine.  Sadly no wine came out of the tap.  This was just some freak occurrence of a huge swarm of bugs attacking the house probably because the rain (which got a lot heavier) last night.

This is my cleaned up pile from the living room.  Click on the picture to enlarge.
Lets hope that something crazy doesn't happy today.
