For the majority of their lives cicadas reside underground, sustaining themselves on tree roots. However every 13 to 17 years, distinct broods of cicadas emerge from their subterranean dwellings to find companionship and start a family. Experts say Robertson County is in the party zone. Have you noticed an uptick in cicadas in your neighborhood? Email your photos with your general location to [email protected]. PHOTO: RIDGETOP Cheryl Ann White

Crash In Springfield May Affect Utility Service Near Central & Main.

A driver in Springfield managed to connect with a utility pole, severing it in two. The crash occurred on Main St near Central Ave around 3 AM. We do not believe the driver sustained serious injuries but Springfield Police did take them into custody, we do not know why. The utility lines appeared to be intact but if you have utility service interruptions near the crash this may be the cause.
