Cicadas with blood-red eyes emerge in DC

Eerie stunning photos captured Brood X cicadas with blood-red eyes emerging from their shells in Washington, DC, on Sunday after 17 years of hibernation.

The creepy insects push out of their casings in the ground looking pale with yellow wings before their skeletons harden and turn brown โ€” and they fly off in droves to mate, creating their telltale deafening buzz.

DC is among the Eastern Seaboard regions considered to be ground zero for this yearโ€™s crop of trillions of emerging cicadas.

The impending onslaught of the bugs has already prompted a Michelin-starred restaurant in the Capitol Hill neighborhood, Little Pearl, to temporarily close, saying it canโ€™t expect its customers to enjoy their experience, given the anticipated noise.

There have been previous sightings of the insects everywhere from New Jersey to Georgia.

New York is expected to see some of the cicadas this year, although its biggest wave should come in 2030 with the Brood II generation, according to the US Forest Service.

Freight train derails into fiery wreck in Iowa

A freight train derailed in a fiery, smoke-filled crash in Iowa on Sunday, leading authorities to order an evacuation of the area.

Residents in a 5-mile radius were told to evacuate while HAZMAT crews dealt with the crash of the train, which was reportedly carrying the chemical ammonium nitrate.

A bridge collapse in the town of Sibley caused the derailment, local media reported, and sent billows of black smoke into the sky that was visible from miles away.

All waterways near the derailment were blocked, Siouxland News reported. A Red Cross area was set up in a nearby town for displaced residents, according to the TV station.

Emergency personnel told the station that what was burning was diesel fuel and not the trianโ€™s haul, but the area was evacuated as a precaution.

Those who werenโ€™t evacuated were told to shelter in place.

The chemical compound, which is used to make fertilizers, can be explosive, the Des Moines Register reported.

There were no reports on injuries related to the crash.
