EAST PALESTINE, Ohio (News Talk 1480 WHBC) – Life isn’t exactly back to normal in East Palestine just yet.
There’s an odor that village leaders say is coming from the creek near the crash site.

They made that available on Wednesday night.
Four teams are working ten-hour days to get the screenings done.
