It also cites unresolved environmental lawsuits as a reason for exiting.

What Is This Mysterious Dust That Appeared Last Week in Some States?

"To another story, talking about bad stuff out there. This one is just weird. Really, really, really weird. We don't know a whole lot yet. I want to caution that. We've just got some reports coming in from Maryland, Northern Virginia and also West Virginia that I would argue a little bit troubling, a little bit baffling. The reports are about a mysterious dust that is appearing suddenly out of nowhere, coming from the sky. I don't know where this green administration is. Where's our climates are when we need them? I mean, consider what happened in Ohio. Hide and Biden taken on a new significance here as we look at some environmental disasters that may be happening under none other than his watch. Anyway, one state West Virginia says that it is testing some of this stuff that appeared on cars. You see, there are reports of a powder in the air that is almost like a kind of snow. I seen some pictures of it, it's like a film. You know, if you live in the northeast, which I do, you might have a lot of pollen during the spring. So that's kind of what it looks like. I mean, that would be my best analysis of it, except this is, this is not pollen, folks. This is something else. Nobody knows what it is. A couple of the states have gotten their environmental protection agencies, state ones to work again. I have no idea where the federal government is on any of this. I'd Biden. There's a disaster in Ohio, trained to Roman massive chemical leak and well, he's not nowhere. He's over in Ukraine. And now this, anyway, West Virginia, they're looking into it. They are waiting on test results. And Maryland is also common in Maryland thinks that maybe this is dust that came from Ohio. Oh no, no, no. That's what that's what we all think. It may be dust from Ohio. No, no, forgive me. Maryland's department, environmental department says, it's probably from Texas.

"After Ukrainian forces pressed a counter offensive. And a tractor trailer traveling north on I four 95 ran off the road around 6 a.m. Sunday morning, striking the guard rail in a pole near exit 44 Germantown pike. Virginia state police say the driver died at the scene. Stay with WTO for more on these stories in just minutes. It's three 47, a region wide effort to promote the planning of native trees and shrubs in Northern Virginia is marking its first anniversary by urging more to join about 100 local organizations and thousands of individuals have already dug in to support plant nova trees. They've planted almost 4000 trees and shrubs. That's according to inside nova. Traffic and weather on the 8th. To Carlos Ramirez in the WTO traffic center. Thanks Stephanie and for the most part, we're not seeing too many delays on our majors, however we are dealing with a handful of war zones here and there as expected. Now let's go ahead and start off with the south side of I two 70. The work group blocks the right hand side of the roadway, as well as the ramp. That takes you on to 85. Now, as of now, there's no real delay because of it. Just stay to the left, you'll be okay. And if you're trying to head southbound on 85 Bucky's town pike, maybe opt for I 70 to take 85 there. If you had to unbound on I 95, no issues to report, BW Parkway seems quiet. There was a report of an accident scene after one 98. If there was one out there, it looks like they handled it pretty quickly. Route 50 across the bay bridge looks like we may have some sort of incident on the eastbound span, right lane is currently blocked. I see the red X, but I don't see what might be blocking the way. So if you're headed eastbound across the bay bridge, stay to the left, we'll see if we can find exactly what's going on there. If you see it before I do, I have to contact me safely. Give us a call one 8 6 6 three O four WTO P that's a traffic tip line. If you're at a northbound on branch avenue, the work zone is on the right side of the roadway on your approach towards the suitland Parkway, no delays behind that one. I three 95 and I 95 in Virginia looking fantastic in a loop of the beltway has the work zone after one 23, blocking two right lanes there. Eastbound side of 66 as you make your way past 28 in centerville, listener did let us know about a barrel that was in the far left lane. It wasn't amongst the word zone, somehow somebody must have bumped into it and ended up in the middle of the roadway. So if you're editing a spam be very careful, there might be a work barrel rolling around. Eastbound side, a rather westbound side of 66, the ramp to 29, unfortunately, still closed, so as you head westbound, you'll have the right lane blocked as well as the ramps to 29 in either direction closed, you'll have to opt for two 34 or 15 to get into the gains valeria.
