I once got into an argument with someone on this very issue back when I used to frequent r/Catholicism. The argument they made was that the term "pro-life" is a term only used to describe a position on abortion.

The mental gymnastics are crazy.

Doubtful.

The acid from the Feb. 3 event mostly dissipated from the local atmosphere within a couple days after the burn-off.

Sorry. Meant Central, not Southern. Rated on Niche just a few below Lewisburg.

The most sophisticated atmospheric modeling would have any residual from the controlled burn long gone off the continent and out over the ocean many days ago. The powerful front that pushed through late Thursday night into Friday purged air over the state like a 50mph snow plow. Winds aloft were persistently well over 100 mph.

That is not to discredit what you are experiencing. It could either be a coincidental headache and you are thinking about the derailment (most of us still are), or there was a local noxious source from industry that is triggering it. It shall pass, worry not.

I don’t sit and spend my entire on Reddit, so no.

True, mid PA. But western PA should still worry.

Well, this rain came from the South.

> No one even knows wtf kind of chemicals were vented or burnt off

We do know.

Suck it up. Is this the first time in your life you had a headache? Does your mom still kiss all your booboos. Are you incapable of reading the other hundred posts on the subject?

Shippensburg isn't Western PA.

Such a bigly number.

It smells like spring rain.

PA probably isn't for you if that is your items. Maybe check Upstate NY and up further

I would be more worried about what’s deep in the soil that may remain for years and years. Those are the long standing impacts that can hurt people and generations.

Ill take a tin foil hat over cancer any day. collected all dog toys from the yard in Chester Co PA, as I couldn't give a fuck if it's 0.01% chance of making it my way, i'M not going out at the hands of a train company LMAO

Use some common sense. The chemicals would spread out over a massive area. A plume 150 miles away and 50 miles wide would be diluted in a huge amount of air of 7500 square miles. The number of toxic molecules is going to be on the order of one part per trillion and you are probably exposed to more toxic gases released from plastic items in your house. You should probably be more concerned about dozens of factories releasing toxic chemicals nonstop while the train burned for a couple days over a week ago.

True. I'm more interested in the rain today because it's the first rain since the controlled release and saturate the ground making some of these inactive chemicals "active" again.

More like 20 or 30. Looks like a pattern to me.

I have free range chickens who have been out in it all day, and unlike that fake story about the chickens dying 10 miles away, they're fine.
