I live in Ohio. Much of the news comes from Columbus and Cincinnati.
Both
cities are well within the brood X cicada zone. Therefore, if you listen
to
the news you get the impression that the entire state is experiencing
cicadas. In reality, the area that I live in is in a different brood zone
and therefore we have only a few cicadas this year and are scheduled for
an
emergence of another brood in 2008. The NW part of the state isn't in any
cicada zone. My sister lives along Lake Erie and she doesn't have any
cicadas. If you look into it, you may find that your news is coming from
an
area of your state that has cicadas and that you are in a zone with a
different brood or none at all.

A few cicadas? ) . I haul trees daily from the Lake down into Columbus &
Cincy, when I get down around the reststop around Polaris Pkway on 71, I
think my truck is making a funny noise. One stop at the reststop, and you
will surely step on a few dozen just walking the sidewalk. I must say Cincy
isn't as bad. Around the Lake, I have yet to see or hear one.
