John,
With all due deference, to use that obsequious
legal phrase, think that what you experienced were Mole Crickets. Also called in
my backyard after rain. Cicadas cannot make noise in ground since they are in
chyrsalis form in which they climb out of the earth to deafen us in the
warmer months...after they have split the cases that prevent them making
any sound.
Regards
Shaun
