SUMMARY: Over the past two decades, there have been at least three fires at a biolab in Conyers, Georgia, raising significant safety concerns. Investigative reports reveal a history of safety violations, including exposure to toxic chemicals and inadequate safety training. Since 2004, when a massive fire prompted evacuations, local residents have voiced ongoing concerns about the facility’s safety, particularly given its proximity to homes. OSHA has cited the biolab 18 times for safety standard violations, raising alarm among residents like the Kelloggs, who fear for community safety. The facility’s owner, Kit Consumer Products, claims community safety is a top priority, but has not addressed specific resident concerns.

SUMMARY: In 2025, Brood XIV cicadas will emerge across parts of 13 U.S. states, including Southern Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, West Virginia, Virginia, North Carolina, northeast Georgia, central Pennsylvania, Long Island, and Cape Cod. This brood is the second-largest periodical cicada group. Unlike 2024’s “cicada-geddon,” Brood XIV will have more scattered emergence areas. Cicadas typically appear in late spring when the ground reaches 64°F and remain for 4-6 weeks. Despite their loud mating calls and appearance, cicadas are harmless, causing no damage other than leaving water-like excretions on trees. A larger emergence is expected in 2076.
