"Mount Vernon Convergence: Resurrection of the Little Saints" 2024
by Ven Loetz
"Last spring, while chasing the solar eclipse, we ended up in the tiny town of Mount Vernon, Illinois, a town we had never been to before. We got there just in time and had a perfect viewing. Two months later, returning from a road trip, our rental vehicle broke down and we were forced to pull over at a freeway exit. We found ourselves, once again by coincidence, in Mount Vernon, Illinois. As I walked around, passing the time, waiting to get a replacement vehicle, I encountered the rare, mass cicada emergence that can only be described as biblical."
