Welcome to the Midwest

[13COBRA]

It can be 80 degrees one day, then snow the next.
It can flood, then have a drought...in the same week.
We can have an eclipse then a bug plague.

****ing 100....TRILLION....cicadas are about to pop out of the ground.

Let's put that in perspective.

1. Each one averages weighing 2 grams. That's 220 million....TONS. That's 2200x's heavier than an aircraft carrier.
2. Each one is 1-1/2" long, so let's use 1 1/4" for easy math. That's 4,037,467,700 miles if they're end to end. That's 162,140 trips around the Earth OR just over 21 trips to the sun and back.
   
   
   
   
   
   

   Over 100 trillion cicadas to emerge after solar eclipse

   What is being dubbed "cicada-geddon" is set to occur in a few weeks, as two large populations emerge from hibernation.

we get them in NC as well, can drive you a little nuts after a while. It's like TV static you can't turn off.

 

[Fat Boss]

Load up the salt guns and plug in the bug zappers.

More like an industrial flamethrower.

And people bitch about the insects here. Looks like fun Nick. I recommend leaving the house and vehicle windows open.

EVERYTHING is going to get sprayed with peppermint oil.

 

[Relaxed Chaos]

Can you smoke them and preserve them? Food for years.

Brought to you by the WEF. You will eat the bugs.

 

[Crimson2v]

Import some cicada killer wasps from NC.

These cicada stories are sensationalism too. Last year was supposed to be some double batch or something. Year before that was the “biggest” year too.

Until they’re doing some 10 Plagues shit, I don’t care.

We haven't had any the last few years.

Its going to be hell thats for sure.

Those things are soo freaking loud at all times all day. Might as well just go deaf at this point lol

[Roots-type]

They're some aimless mf'ers that's for sure.. like a june bug except worse

I do like to hear them buzzing in the trees on a smoking hot texas summer day though. Wouldn't be the same without 'em.

Lived in Indianapolis for 17 years.

Never frigging again.

NC forever, except for a condo in HI maybe.

Supposed to get them here in Georgia too.
Saw them when I moved here in 2011. I think they were a different version but they were still loud AF.

 

[BlckBox04]

those little ****ers are about to come out here too

did anyone else have earthquake on their bingo card for this week?? Not far away from me

Strongest New Jersey quake in 240 years felt across New York City, Northeast

 

[365 Saleen]

Sitting on 6" of snow.
Currently 30*F and snowing.
Don't think I will have to deal with it here.
Also don't think it will be as bad as "projected"
They can't even get the Weather Forecast right 70+% of the time.

 

[CobraBob]

We'll be free of them (or minimally affected) according to the maps I've seen.

 

[svtfocus2cobra]

Never seen a Cicada in my life. They don't exist in the west from my knowledge.

 

[MDShelby]

Very mild winter.
Edge of the earthquake.
Not quite the total eclipse.
Edge of the cicada outbreak.

Makes me think somewhere down the road, in the not to distant future, we gonna have it handed to us. Add to that my luck in nearly everything lately has been bad, I wanna go hide for a year or so.
