Morning Brew's Opening today
Good morning. And so it begins: Cicadas are emerging in South Carolina. In Newberry County, their mating calls have gotten so noisy that residents are calling the sheriff’s office wondering why they’re hearing a roar or sirens.
Remember, cicadas are loud—like, as loud as a jet engine. And this year, the US is getting a double whammy, with Brood XIX and Brood XIII emerging together for the first time since 1803.

As the weather warms, these insects are going to rise up across the South and the Midwest. That means millions of people are living in areas that experienced the path of totality for the eclipse and will experience the path of totality for the cicadas. You win some, you lose some.
