"And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power." Revelations 9:3

OK, so they're not locusts, they're periodical cicadas, but I doubt that makes much difference to those who live in effected areas, or the millenarian dispensationalists that are sure to see this as a sign from God.
"This is one of those years we kind of dread," said Paris Lambdin, professor of entomology and plant pathology at the University of Tennessee. "We had an emergence a couple years ago around Nashville, but nothing like what we expect this one will be."

There's no question that the class of 2004 will be a nuisance. The cicadas will make plenty of noise, and adults are poor fliers that tend to bump into things.
This sounds pretty freaky. Are the frogs next?
