Herald-Mail
Some Washington County residents along with others in West Virginia’s Eastern Panhandle and other parts of Maryland got a surprise Thursday night when a fine white dust fell from the sky, coating cars and outdoor furniture.
Comments spread across social media, including some Hagerstown area residents reporting seeing unusual-colored hues around vehicle headlights as the material fell.
Sean Flaherty, who lives on McKee Avenue in Hagerstown’s North End, said the dust was falling at his house about 10 p.m.
“I checked my security camera and it looked like it was snowing outside,” said Flaherty. He provided The Herald-Mail with a video clip which shows particles flashing by in the light from his house. Cover

I remember my Dad telling me stories about the dust bowl and having dust from the Midwest settle on things in Maryland.
“🚨#UPDATE: Mystery solved! The weird white particles that fell from the sky in West Virginia and Maryland are likely from a massive dust storm that hit New Mexico, Texas, and Oklahoma yesterday.”
yeah, practically every time the east coast gets a ‘dust storm’ from the west it’s in the form of ‘weird white particles’.
(lived on the right coast most of my life & I’ve never experienced ‘weird white particles’ …. & no, snow ain’t weird)
