[WVDXA] 17 Year locust

[Charlie Young]

Phil, please send some of those birds over to Alum Creek area.  The noise is awful.  At least they are down in the valley, and not up on my hilltop. 
 
I can't hear any locusts up in Cleveland, where I am now.  How long do these things stay around?  Probably too much to hope for that they will be gone when I return Friday.
