Imagine having to put dust masks on your weekly shopping list.
What do you think caused this cloud of dust? Maybe it was an explosion on a nearby mountaintop removal site. Or, maybe there is a strong wind coming up the valley. Maybe it is just a fluke or anomaly.
None of the above. This cloud was created from the passing of one coal truck. The trucks pass by here day and night non-stop. Wouldn’t it be fun living here?
This is just another example of the coal industry not caring about the communities in which they took over to get rich (mine coal). The coal industry spreads their waste laden water everywhere else - why not put some on this road?

Wow, you must be bored today! hehe 3 posts so far.
Its the same here with the trucks, dirt and dust all over, not to mention the drivers get paid per load so safety isn’t there either.
! of these days I’ll get a picture of the road by The Earnest Mine here and make a post. The Earnest site is a “reclamation” site. They still haul coal out and bring in toxic ash for fill.

It would appear that way but two of these posts have been sitting in draft for a few days.
Honestly - I would go ballistic if I had to deal with the dust daily.
