Now it’s raining grasshoppers.

The National Weather Service doesn’t want to jump to any conclusions, but the pests have apparently become so abundant on the West Mesa that they’ve started showing up on National Weather Service radar. Jason Frazier, a meteorologist for the weather service in Albuquerque, said this year’s grasshopper plague is the most likely explanation for “weird radar echoes” that appeared Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.

It would be interesting to see what a swarm of locusts (the major ones back in the days where they're be more of them than stars in the galaxy) on radar would look like, neato! :D
