(CNN)Record-breaking floods in southeastern Australia have caused a mass animal exodus to higher ground, with spiders in particular surging onto people's land and into their homes.

Matt Lovenfosse has been posting Facebook updates from his family's farm in Kinchela Creek, including the photo above
"All the brown you can see is Spiders trying to beat the flood water," he wrote in the caption.

Spiders aren't the only animals seeking refuge from the water, Lovenfosse added.
"The trees are full of snakes," he said. "If you take the boat out over the paddock they swim towards it trying to get on something dry, same with the spiders."

TikTok user Shenea Varley also uploaded a video showing spiders swarming on a fence as flood waters churned below.
"They will climb up your legs to get shelter as well," the caption reads.

Oh crap. What is going to happen next? Remember, the disaster that was 2020 started with Australia on fire. Now it is flooding, so that means zombie apocalypse is next.
