While we at Pameno have our own specialties, Alex with earthquakes ad fires, Ira with cold weather and insurance, and yours truly with hurricanes and tornadoes, occasionally something pops up that's out of any of our core competencies. I'm talking of course, about biblical disasters.

Now, seas turning to blood and what not don't happen too often on our watch, but when frogs shut down a highway, I figure it's worth reporting. So here it goes:

Earlier today, authorities in the Greek town of Langadas, twelve miles east of Thessaloniki, were forced to close a major north-south highway for two hours when three different cars skidded off the road to avoid hitting frogs crossing the road.

Thessaloniki traffic police chief Giorgos Thanoglou told AP that the frogs most likely left a nearby lake in search of new food.

"There was a carpet of frogs," he told the wire service.

No injuries of people were reported, but several thousand frogs unfortunately lost their lives as motorists ran them over before the highway was closed.
