A freak storm has lashed the southern province of Aswan in Egypt with heavy rain, flooding and snow leaving 3 dead and 500 others in hospital with scorpion stings.
Local authorities were forced to suspend Sunday’s school classes as the province fended off the storm’s mammoth downpour of rain and hail and then the power outages.
Governor Ashraf Attia reported that scorpions were forced out of their hiding places, seeking refuge in many houses.
