The amount of particulate from the dust bowl is on a completely different scale to a train derailment. People are making this about themselves when the actual risk to anyone not in the area of the disaster is likely to be vanishingly small. If you want to worry about this feel for the poor people in the watershed or around where it happened. Don't panic for yourself some 700 miles away
