I got my first two cicada-splatters on my windshield today.
I have gotten a bunch of splatters in the last few days. The thunderstorm last night washed away yesterday's splatters, but I have a fresh batch of splatters today.
Over at Security Boulevard, the cicadas are chittering in the trees like mad, in addition to the science fiction hum in the background. At this point, they are loud enough to be a disruption at outdoor events. I can definitely hear the cicadas along the highway as I drive up I-95 between DC and Baltimore, too.
What I find interesting is that, with the windows shut, the car blocks out the road noise, but you can hear the cicadas clearly. If I open the windows, all I can hear is road noise. I guess it wouldn't make sense to design a car to block out a noise audible only once every 17 years.
