Cicadas Over-running East Coast

Any day now, a number of cicadas that have been underground for the last 17 years are in the right climate to be coming back up. The numbers are supposed to outnumber the population of the entire east coast 6 to one and scientists have nick named the coming of them "Brood II" as a horror movie title. They've been just a few feet under, sucking on tre roots and waiting to come up to reproduce... well now they have their chance and plan to take advantage of it. A study shows that the number estimated to be buzzing to mate will drown out the noise of a rock concert. They Emerge every 13 to 17 years... good luck to the east coast.
personally i hate the loud racket of sarming insects, so i really hope people are gonna bring out the flame throwers, bombs, flamingos, space suits, etc.
