I had noticed them until today. We made a trip to Springfield then Jacksonville, we stopped off at Ponderosa in J/ville and the tree outside was full of them.

I'm a little further East from there in Mt Zion Illinois, it was cooler this morning and they were quiet.  I thought for awhile that maybe the worst was over, but once the temp warmed up they started in again just as loud as before.

When they emerge is dependent on the temperature.  It has been unusually warm here so far this summer, so it may be that it just hasn't been warm enough for long enough yet.

Huh, looked at the website and it says nothing about central Texas, but I see them a lot. I saw a WHOLE lot of them 2 years ago.

Wow...the DC area and virginia have 7 broods.

We get them every summer in NE Texas. The sound of a Cicada is pretty much just another sound of summer like lawn mowers and kids splashing in swiming pools.
