We get cicadas every year. What is a few billion more? I've never been through this myself, but the locals here in the DC area (Brood X "ground-zro") have been telling me that this is nothing like the cicadas you seem every other year. "A plague of Biblical proportions" is the most common description I hear...

We get them every year in the South too, but not like this. I think this is going to be a doozy.
We live amongst the forests of N. Georgia. Here's what we woke up to yesterday. The day before was normal, now we have a constant whiny buzzing in the background.
Cicadas in the background

Last time this particular brood came out, it was 1987. There were so many covering my town (Lousiville KY) that the streets were covered in squished-cicada paste. An enterprising t-shirt maker sold thousands of t-shirts with a design of a cicada emerging Rambo-like from some bushes (complete with AK-47 and red headband). You're right, this is nothing like the ordinary cicada crop.
