Is the US really "bracing" for this event? Girding their loins to brace in anticipation of this event? Bracing their bodies or their minds? Will the Walmart people make runs on toilet paper? If I want to properly brace, what do the experts say?

Brace, brace, brace. Brace for bugs.

If the person in charge doesn't properly "brace" then the opposing party will "slam" them

Or "rip" or "sound off" on them even. After all, they've been issued a FINAL WARNING.

I'm in Illinois not far from where the broods overlap. I'm looking forward to it.

The last big brood was a bust where I live (About 30 miles west of Chicago downtown.)

Are you properly-braced for this event?

[HankB99]

yeah - no.

Earplugs at least.

Man, walking outside to a concert volume roar was nuts. And then them flying around and pelting you.

Then opening your car door quick and shutting it because they like to fly at you right as you get in in.

Was driving and noticed one walking on my neck. I certainly was braced in that moment.
