San Antonio, Texas - This almost biblical story comes to us from San Antonio, TX, which was under siege by scary swarms of crickets recently, according to the Association of Mature American Citizens. 

The experts say that the invasion of the chirping critters could last for weeks and explained that it was the result of weather conditions -- a dry summer, followed by rains and the onslaught of cooling conditions. Thousands of the pesky visitors covered walls, blocked doors and made life that much more difficult for residents, prompting some of them to liken the infestation to a “plague.”
