REDMOND, Wash. - Residents around Puget Sound were baffled Sunday when a thin layer of ash-like powder suddenly appeared, coating their cars and homes.
Dave and Edith Creed of Maple Valley were mystified when they discovered the thin layer of dust coating their truck, SUV and camper. On some surfaces, the dust seems to turn orange and, mixed with some moisture, it formed circles, they said.
"We've never seen anything like this," said David Creed.
About 30 miles away, residents in Lake Marcel north of Carnation awoke Sunday to the fine powder blanketing the neighborhood.
Well, I have heard some theories on this as it has been happening more and more over the past decade. It could be cosmic debri of some sort, from comets etc. Maybe an effect of polution and certain weather conditions....It is fascinating and I wish the story gave more details. Could just be pollen of course. They will have to test it.
