I first noticed one of the residents of Evansville on Twitter asking why Evansville stunk. Figured it had something to do with his specific location. Unfortunately as soon as I walked outside I smelled what seemed like a pile of rotting wet rags.
Since then there have been 2 others mention the stench that seems to be moving all over the city. Of course there hasn't been an official response or comment in the media, Hoyt of Channel 14 WFIE made an observation.
Likely farming. We did a story out of Gibson Co. about using turkey litter which has strong smell when it gets wet and warmer.
So, if you are outside today and wondering what's crawling up your nose, it's probably fertilizer. The warmer temperatures bring out more than greenery and wild life, it also brings out the squiggly stink lines.
*Update
According to Jeff Lyons we are experiencing a weather condition called Inversion. This conditions normally causes conditions for smog, but in our case can intensify the stench of the city dump and fertilizers being used on nearby farms.
Also, added this to the weather category.
