Reply to comment by JimBones31 in Despite 'dirty rain,' DEP says Maine will likely not be affected by Ohio train disaster by DrMcMeow

The railroad company isn't who I'm looking to for environmental impacts related to wind and weather patterns

So after seeing all the weather maps of the gases and chemicals floating up into the atmosphere and towards new England, where do you think the rain is getting contaminated from?

Again, if you don't want to acknowledge that the shit falling out of the sky is the same shit that flew into the sky upwind of us...that's fine.

Meteorologists who have been asked similar questions point to dust from OK and TX. They also note that several weather systems have gone thru the east coast since Feb 3 and that if any part of the smoke/debris cloud remains, it is over the north Atlantic and northern Europe.

So the site is done contaminating the air?

No longer a fire at the site, and has not been a fire for over a week. No smouldering, either.

Very good. We don't need a fire though for chemicals to contaminate the air.

Air readers on the ground and in the air are not finding this contamination you seem focused on. What chemicals do you think is in the air there and is also in Maine?

If the air readers aren't finding any, apparently none.

I'm sure you've seen the same map everyone is sharing like crazy. You probably also saw that map is from 2/8. It's 2/18.

Which means...the cloud of shit has moved...downwind.

Which means we didn't get rain yesterday that would have had anything to do with Ohio

I've tried explaining it clearly. I'm done. Don't lick it off the windows.
