Trillions of Cicadas to hatch this year

[CHenry]

I heard on the news this is a 17 year high for them. Gonna be lotsa fish bait.

Oh my. I beat em to the prediction on that.

I was living in Southern Ohio in the 2004 brood that was supposed to be several different cycles all coming to hatch at the same time and it was RIDICULOUS.
Walking on the sidewalks, they were easily 75% covered in lots of areas...just CRUNCH CRUNCH CRUNCH while you walked. I had to buy a bucket and squeegee to scrub my windshield every day when I got home from class or work...it was horrible. Just walking around and there'd be a bunch landing on you and going for the ride. Never seen anything like it before LOL

I love to listen to them....it brings back memories of the summers of my youth when I spent a lot of time outdoors camping, fishing and just enjoying nature

They can spend up to 17 years underground, once above ground they only live 2-4 weeks, per google.

With my tinnitus, I hear them constantly. It really gets on my nerves at times.

Bunch of whiney-babies. There are so many of them in the trees at my house every August that it's positively deafening in the early evening.

I feel like I used to hear them every summer as a child in SW OK, but it sounds like this isn't possible? What was I hearing?

As a kid, when I lived in Colorado, I loved the sound of them when I visited grandma. I love driving around with the windows down, getting a slush at Sonic. Look forward to them every year.
