Alert: April 8th.... Its estimated that as many as a Trillion Cicadas are expected to crawl out of the earth in massive swarms and are expected to cover large swaths of the United States of America on or around April 8th.

There is no one alive today that has witnessed such an event. The last time that this happened was in 1803
Two adjacent broods of the red-eyed flying cicadas will emerge from the ground in April, and residents in the Midwest and Southeast should brace themselves for a season of high-pitched buzzing. Cicada broods often emerge together, the University of Connecticut says, but 2024 will mark the first time in more than 200 years that Brood XIX, which arrives every 13 years, and Brood XIII, which arrives every 17 years, will emerge at the same time. The next co-emergence of these broods won’t happen for another 221 years.
