Being grossed out really isn’t an emergency. Union County in Georgia is begging people to stop calling about the loud noises cicadas make. Union County Fire/Rescue & EMA wrote on Facebook, “Union County E911 is receiving multiple 911 calls for ‘alarms’ in the neighborhood. More than like these ‘alarms’ are not alarms at all but a bug, Brood X.” The last time Brood X, a specific group of cicadas, made an appearance was in 2004. The bugs typically come out once the soil reaches 64 degrees.
