Anyone in Tenn/NC are the cicadas out in force?

[Anonymous]

I live in lower AL and I've been telling my wife how awesome the 17 year cicadas are to see/hear in person.  Anyone in TN/NC got swarms of them yet?  I want to take her there for the peak.

Thanks...

I'm in Johnson City, TN (northeast corner) and have not seen a one. Have heard them at night, but not significant yet.
