Citizens of several states were frustrated Thursday as dust layered cars and, in Connecticut, an unusual scent was obvious.
With nerves on side because of the train derailment and also succeeding chemical burn-off in East Palestine, Ohio, that brought about multiple claims of diseases from whatever was in the air, the concern was serious.
“WHAT IS FALLING FROM THE CLEAR SKIES? I have actually just been educated from West Virginia to Carroll Area MD there seems to be White ASH falling,” meteorologist Justin Berk posted Thursday on Facebookas the hunt for an explanation began.
The West Virginia Department of Environmental management said in a Friday releaseit was taking seriously reports of “dust throughout several counties in West Virginia’s Eastern Panhandle.”
“The WVDEP received reports late Thursday evening about the dirt as well as activated assessors to the location to gather examples and also recognize prospective sources. No apparent sources have actually been identified currently,” the launch claimed.

Connecticut meteorologist Ryan Hanrahan supplied his very own explanation for the dust on Facebook.
“The dust/residue on vehicles this morning has a pretty rational explanation which’s dust kicked up from a black blizzard in the levels a couple of days back,” he said.
