PERRY COUNTY, Pa. (WHTM) — In terms of fame and fortune — well, okay… maybe not fortune, but certainly fame! — no brood of 17-year cicadas matches Brood X, which last emerged in 2021. Anyone old enough also remembers the 2004 emergence, the 1987 one and so forth. But should Brood XIV (that’s 14 rather than 10, for the Roman numeral-impaired) — emerging now — have at least as great a claim to fame? “This is the brood,” said Dr. John Cooley, who studies cicadas at the University of Connecticut.

CUMBERLAND COUNTY, Pa. (WHTM) — A Pennsylvania girl with just one hand who could do just about anything everyone else can do, but she wanted to do one of the few things that seemed impossible until teachers and children got involved. It’s one of those stories you wouldn’t believe if you didn’t see and hear it with your own eyes and ears. I’ll give away the ending first: 10-year-old Sophia Pokladowski playing cello because how she got here is the best part.
