Residents across Front Royal woke up this weekend to a strange sight: cars, trucks, and windows covered in a thin layer of brownish grime after an overnight rainstorm. But it wasn’t pollen or pollution—it was dirty rain, and it had people lining up at local car washes by the dozens.
By mid-morning Saturday, long lines could be seen at car wash businesses around town as drivers rushed to rinse off the muddy residue left behind by the unusual weather. One employee at a local wash said it was one of their busiest mornings in weeks.
The mess came from a natural phenomenon known as dirty rain, or mud rain. It happens when dust from dry areas—often hundreds of miles away—is swept high into the atmosphere by strong winds. That dust mixes with rain clouds and falls to the ground with the precipitation, coating cars, patios, and sidewalks with a gritty film.
“It looked like my car had been through a dirt road—only it hadn’t moved from the driveway,” one Front Royal resident said.
LOL....I had to hose off the PU the other day due to it.....Everything else is garaged.
They think it was brought up from Texas.....Another reason to hate the Cowboys.
