There are so many cicadas near Baltimore that they show up on the weather radar

[Mike Wehner]

In case you hadn't already heard, there are many U.S. states right now that are being invaded. No, the country isn't being attacked by a foreign power, and in fact, the invaders have been living beneath our own feet for nearly two decades. I'm talking of course about the emergence of the periodical cicadas that has taken place over the past month or two, mostly along the East Coast of the United States. It's an event that's been 17 years in the making, but unless you actually live in one of these areas it can be difficult to get a handle on just how many of these creatures there are.

Estimates of the number of cicadas in this brood — called "brood x" — vary a bit, but everyone agrees there are "trillions" of the noisy insects emerging from the ground. Now, in an observation that is both hilarious and somewhat disturbing, a meteorologist from a local NBC station has provided a glimpse at the weather radar near Baltimore, Maryland, and it's truly stunning.
