I think... I think that PC Cast and thus her Sue, despite the TEACHER!!!1!! crap, doesn't know that a "locust" is a tree, rather than just a Biblical plague of grasshoppers. (it's actually several kinds of tree, but considering this is Oklahoma, it's probably the honey locust (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honey_locust). ...now I wonder if she knows that locusts are an actual kind of bug instead of just a "plague".
Conversely, I guess she could just be scared of thorns?
Either way, considering that locust bean (carob) is also an important part of many middle-eastern cultures, including ones that shaped the western world... you'd think she'd have a different association with it other than "lol such a lame name for a town".
I missed the fact that she was walking up to the supaar creepy house, and thought she was just having a sudden feeling because Rhiannon was trying to grab onto her for the switchover, which would have been much more intriguing (that is, why does she suddenly feel this tremor just as she's walking up to her house or the drug store?). Lame.
