Radar Spots Massive Swarms of Bats Over Texas
The warm weather has activated the state's legendary hordes.
How's the weather in Texas? One might say hairy, fluttering, and filled with a cacophony of high-pitched shrieking.
A warm spell has hit Texas, and it's triggered restlessness not just among joggers and cyclists. Over in the western part of the state, huge swarms of bats are taking off and chasing bugs in the night sky. These groupings are so large they appear almost like rain storms on Doppler, as recently demonstrated above the cave-dotted savanna of the Edwards Plateau.
