Fwiw, Connecticut DEEP says it’s not from Ohio, as the winds are coming up from the southwest. This article says it could be dust from Oklahoma maybe?

Edit: The article also posits that the derailment happened a few weeks ago, so the atmospheric pollution should have dissipated by now

The derailment happened 2 weeks ago- lighting it on fire was Monday or Tuesday of this week.

You could be right, but the wind direction would have to be correct as well. Check the article—channel 3 updates it w/NOAA meteorologists who say it’s from the dust storm
