I think it might also have been the paint flaking off the rust beneath...

That's rust. The storm went right over Joe Butchers steel

We had a weird phenomenon this afternoon. The rainstorm that is preceding the cold front into MI from the SW seems to have swept up
red dust along the way through Oklahoma and Texas...and it rained red dirt today. Looks like rust spots on the cars. They did
tests on the stuff and it was pH neutral (thank goodness....not Gary IN effluvia). Now we're all wondering if we're going to get
red snow tonight. Winter weather advisory says 5 inches (ha...will probably be 2...)
