Ohio train wreck

[Bhubbard]

Lima is like 4 hours west of the accident. How do they know her chickens died from that related pollution? I ask as a person closer to it than Lima...

Ah my bad Lima was the news station reporting of a woman in north Lima which is 10 miles from wreck.

ooohhh. Ok. thank you so much for the clarification. My heart goes out to them. I am also a bit relieved that it did not travel hundreds of miles west. I am a transplant in Ohio and need to learn more geography!!

I’m also curious if fox accidentally put Lima on tag for location not realizing Lima is a larger city in state not near there. Just don’t know enough about that little community to know what it’s called. I do know Lima though. I went to ONU 10 miles from there.

I have been here my entire life and would have never been able to tell you where that little town was if asked. That’s why it’s so important they get help. It’s a little community with probably very little resources. The state/fed has done nothing.

I wonder if we're the only ones pronouncing it like the fruit and not the city in Peru?

I've heard it pronounced both ways. I believe like the fruit is correct

It's Lima like the fruit for the bigger Lima north of Dayton. I have never heard of this other Lima, but I suppose it's whatever its residents want it to be.

Will you test your water or anything? Someone on this thread suggested that and so did Erin Brockovich when recently asked about what’s happening in Ohio.

She said it’s basically on the people right now, as terrible as that actually is.

We have well water/ an entire system of complicated filters and stuff so we aren’t too worried and I havent seen anyone near me with a well system testing theirs.
