Low altitude chemtrail? Any black aircraft in the vicinity?

First question I’m asking is where were the Clintons when this appeared? Second, do they have any “mysterious” business investments with the people of Charleston?

“No one is admitting responsibility,” said Kanawha County Commission President Kent Carper. “It is a wide area with a visible haze and a noticeable smell reported as a chlorine odor.”

It was hazy here too today (Duluth Mn). Kind of unusual when it’s this cold - 9’F. You’d expect it to be crystal clear. Didn’t smell or sense anything wrong. Nobody else seemes to have noticed though.

See post 34 on the insecticide (possible release material). So - I suppose they saw Moth Man and then released the gas?

Initially it was reported that the local emergency administrator was fuming with anger that Bayer had not reported the extent of a Thiodicarb leak. It was reported that firemen had spray 1 ‘barrel’ of leaking Thiodicarb, then it was revealed that at least 3 ‘barrels’ had released Thiodicarb.

Then this story was removed, and no record of it is available to my search.

Here is haz mat info on Thiodicarb....pretty nasty?

Not like the old classics, but has some potential.

Hmmm..yuck.

See # 39- the latest update says they went to all the local plants and find no leaks at them..

Can you still smell it?

Most insecticides are nerve agents.

A big enough dose and a human can be affected.

Hopefully, no problems will result.

Thank you for concern.

My home is 2 miles from the Bayer chemical plant and 12 miles up river from John Amos coal fired plant. The irritating ‘smog’ (white not blue or yellow) was very strong at 2 pm; I have stayed in all day, canceling my appointments.

Currently the air is much improved. My lung irritation continues.

BTW I carry an excellent gas mask in my car, and have 2 at home just in case!

It says Charleston on the picture.

Older eyes can barely read that it's Kanawha County.

You didn’t get the memo?

Yeah, Al Gore told me that cold temperatures are symptomatic of global warming.

Surely there was a mistake made somewhere? *scratches head*

(LOL)

Maybe it’s the return of the moth man.

Or Crab People...

Al Gore told me that cold temperatures are symptomatic of global warming.

And that makes perfect sense. Now, where is that shovel? I've got some more of that 'blue haze' to remove from my porch...

“My lung irritation continues.”

Prayers up for you there Mountaineer. Take care.

I’m hoping everyone gives anything outdoors a good washing and rinsing before they let their kids out to play tomorrow.
