For those who wonder what all the fuss is about re: the coming cicadas



They are LOUD! A wall of unrelenting sound.
and high pitched
like having ringing in your ears constantly at high volume.

Here's 2 examples,slightly different sounds ( they have variations in the rhythm of noise)

Imagine hearing this 24 hours a day for a few weeks in the hot summer.
Inside the house dims but does not block the sound.

Since cicadas are on everyone's mind now,here is a good tool to predict your area

Very easy chart of the cycles,in each state.


This page has a chart,which shows where and when the cicada schedule will be in your area,
just look for the map of your state. It also shows all the past and future emerges of the 13 year and the 17 year.

Feel free to kick this up for the morning shift on DU....I;m gonna take my night owl self off to bed.
