Ted Murphy is a resident of East Palestine, Ohio.
Ted lives right near the fallout site and moved his mother immediately after the derailment, but before the explosion.
Sunday after the derailment, he came back to her insulin and encountered the chemical fallout. His skin later became red "like he had fell asleep on Myrtle Beach all day" and his lymph nodes became sore.
"I inhaled that air and I thought I was going to frickin' die. I almost wrecked my fri**in' truck," Ted said. "The road looked like a wet ribbon."
"I'm not moving back into my house. I just got done doing all that work on the inside of it."
"I just bought all new appliances, new furniture, new beds. I made my mom a brand new home. Now I gotta leave. It ain't right."
"The creek is dead. You go and step on rocks now and there's oil that comes out around the rocks."
"Dead newts. Dead lizards. Dead salamanders. Dead fish. Dead snakes. Dead frogs. Everything in that creek is dead."
"I gotta find somewhere to live!" Ted added.
"I'm not worried about money. I'm worried about my health. I'm worried about all my nieces and nephews health."
"I want to be here long enough to see my grandson grow. That's about the most important thing in my life."

Congratulations to @DamascusFBcoach and the Swarmin’ Hornets Football team. I think that’s 12 for DHS. Announcer kept saying 11. Doesn’t that tie Seneca and Dunbar who got 12 today?

I contacted @Chewy last week to see if I could return an unopened bag of my dog’s food after he died. They 1) gave me a full refund, 2) told me to donate the food to the shelter, and 3) had flowers delivered today with the gift note signed by the person I talked to?? 😭🥹
