This is what we have in our plans eventually. NH > AZ. My aunt went there from FL a couple years ago and she loves it. It’s not all just dessert, AZ is huge and has mountains as well.

I moved here 24 years ago. I moved around a lot when I was younger and when I came here I fell in love with NH. You may have a long adjustment period but you can acclimate anywhere if you want to. I think what you’re feeling is completely normal. There are some beautiful places in AZ. Find them to help yourself adjust.

CT had similar issues: https://www.wfsb.com/2023/02/17/questions-raised-over-mysterious-soot-like-residue-that-accumulated-vehicles/

Their news is saying it's most likely dust/dirt from dust storms in Texas and Oklahoma. Apparently, these types of storms push a lot of junk high into the atmosphere, and it takes a while to float back down- which could explain why it got all the way to New england maybe?

What do you think?

Their news and meteorologists are saying it's very unlikely to be from the train derailment (would've passed us already) and is modt likely dust/dirt from dust storms in Texas and Oklahoma.

I’ve lived in New England almost all my life but had a period of time when we lived in Florida (10 years) then Missouri (18 months) and the Netherlands (2 years) and never felt like any of those places were ‘home’. I cried whenever we left Logan after visiting. My oldest daughter was 4 when we did our first move and when we eventually returned her statement was ‘now I feel like I’m home’. (Of course my second daughter has lived in Oregon now for 8 years and loves it, lol.) I grew up in Maine, lived in MA for a long time and now live in the beautiful Granite State. I can’t imagine living any place else.

Good luck in AZ!

That’s the problem though. 90% of people aren’t asking questions. They’re immediately going into panic after doom swiping on TikTok and Twitter. I still don’t agree with this narrative that there’s been no coverage of this or it’s been hidden for some nefarious reason. I heard about it the day it happened and I’ve seen articles about it nonstop. Admittedly that’s a subjective point of view since everyone’s data and algorithms for content consumption is different but atleast for me I’ve had news of it out infront of me since the incident. Social media causes people to act and feel without objective thought. Why would this be covered up by main stream media? Everyone says they’re “liberal” mouthpieces. This derailment is the outcome of regulations put in place after the same chemical was spilled in New Jersey in 2012 and then repealed by a GOP senate in 2017. You don’t think the “liberal” media wouldn’t have immediately jumped on a chance to hammer the last administration? The fact that this panic is setting in 2 weeks later is proof. People claiming that they’re seeing/smelling/experiences of “fallout” in a weather pattern shifting from the location of an environmental catastrophe that happened two weeks ago is like saying “everyone stay safe there’s a storm that spawned devastating tornados in Ohio two weeks ago, and it’s headed our way” Everyone, for the most part understands how quickly the jet stream pushes weather patterns across the country, so alerting people of severe incoming weather from 14 days ago would cause most people to scoff at it as irrational. Introduce a a moderately unknown variable and everyone panics, instead of asking reasonable questions or taking a second to analyze the situation objectively.

Probably because they didn't know about it.

The story wasn't given that much attention by MSM. It took a week or so of enough people talking about it online to bring it to people's attention.

And what do you mean there's nothing rational about people being concerned for their health and safety? It's one thing to explain to people why you don't think they should worry, it's another to try and shoot them down for asking questions.
