Chris Tarantino is an emergency communications contractor. He specializes in things like building “resiliency through emerging technology” and “innovative communications,” as he describes on LinkedIn.

Which is why it was so perfect (I mean horrible) when, earlier this week, a peculiar disaster befell his rental car on a trip through Florida. As Tarantino approached his rental car, he realized that spider eggs had hatched, and the driver’s side seat was now amass with thousands of tiny arachnids.

OHHHHH MY GOD a spider laid eggs in my @Hertz rental. #nightmarefuel — Chris Tarantino (@Tarantino4me) May 31, 2016

At first I was in disbelief…. You know how the sun can distort your vision? I thought it was that. And then one crawled up my arm…. — Chris Tarantino (@Tarantino4me) May 31, 2016

There are thousands. So many baby spiders asbfjsbsnsvansbjs @Hertz is hopefully coming to rescue me. — Chris Tarantino (@Tarantino4me) May 31, 2016

“It was like a spider tornado hit the front seat,” Tarantino told the News-Press in Fort Myers, Fla., which reported that the contractor was in the state to train emergency managers on things like how to communicate effectively through social media:

“Dealing with emergencies is my bread and butter,” said Tarantino, whose Epicenter Media & Training is described on Twitter as “a communications-focused public safety and technology consulting and training firm.” Tarantino is self-admittedly tech savvy and said he reflexively started tweeting about the alarming arachnid activity. “This was just that level of ridiculousness to share. I feel like I had to get it out there,” Tarantino said. “They had literally just hatched.”

Think @Hertz will cover my #spiderpocalypse2016 beers? It's been over an hour & the spiders have taken over the car pic.twitter.com/OvmMnaljUI — Chris Tarantino (@Tarantino4me) May 31, 2016

The epicenter of the infestation appeared to be near the gas pedal, Tarantino told the News-Press. He said that even though the spiders were tiny, it still looked like the seat was crawling.

Apparently, after the interview, some of Tarantino’s weather friends took issue with his “spider tornado” terminology. We appreciate the suggestion of “spider haboob,” though.
