Unprecedented: Argentina experience a ‘mosquito hurricane’

RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – Mosquito hurricane does not exist as a phenomenon. What happened was a big hurricane. Only a cloud of mosquitoes can be an unusual fact, but taking the form of a hurricane is even more tragic.

The bizarre incident was filmed by drivers traveling on Route 74, which connects General Madriaga with Pinamar in the province of Buenos Aires.

It is a harmless insect that breeds in “clusters” that form several meters away from the earth. The Atlantic coast where the episode took place was hit by a massive attack of mosquitoes in the next few days Several days of good rainfall and high temperatures accumulate, ideal conditions for expansion.

“It’s getting bigger, I’ve never seen anything like it in my life,” says one driver who recorded the phenomenon using his cell phone, and then responded on social networks to the amazement of users.
