Actually we (Michiganders) have these just about every year. The full cycle to maturity is 17 years, but this phenomenon doesn't just happen every 17 years. I heard that this year will be the worst in a number of years. They are very noisy though... Can't sleep with the windows open any more...

we are at the "epicenter" here in the DC area.....up to 1.5 million per acre.......
if you could stand next to the male..the one that makes the noise... it would be like standing next to a power lawnmower.
