WASHINGTON STATE, (NORTH PLATTE POST)- Panic ensued in the town of Edmonds when a report filed a suspicious white powder in an intersection that not only scared locals, but caused a traffic detour that lasted nearly an hour. A Snohomish County Fire District 1 spokeswoman says crows are to blame for the panic.

A hazardous materials team stepped onto the scene to investigate the white powder causing the ruckus. However a witness finally decided to tell the crews she observed a couple of crows being all bird like, dragging around a bag of flour while she was jogging.

 

Being the good citizen she is, after passing the crows she picked up the bag of flour and placed it in nearby garbage, then continued her jog.

Firefighters took an hour to clear the scene at the busy detoured intersection.

Better safe than sorry, luckily the situation was of no danger. The one who reported the powder acted right, especially with all the crazy things that happen in today’s world!
