Spilled milk dyed a Virginia creek white — see the unbelievable pictures taken of the incident
The Lynchburg Fire Department answered a most unusual call on Feb. 3.
A creek had mysteriously turned white.
It was quickly determined that the creek, located near Westover Dairy, a dairy plant, actually had been dyed by “an undetermined amount of waste milk” that had been accidentally released into the creek.
“A citizen called 9-1-1 this morning to report the creek near the 1300 block of Hendricks Street was almost completely white in color,” the Lynchburg Fire Department wrote on its Facebook page on Saturday, Feb. 3.
Lynchburg is located in central Virginia, a little more than 100 miles west of Richmond.
It’s home to several colleges, including Liberty University.
The mystery of the white creek was quickly solved.
“Crews determined the cause was a clogged drain line at Westover, which had allowed waste milk to overflow into the storm sewer and then into the creek,” said the fire department.
The fire department continued, “The line was cleared and the overflow stopped.”
Water resource officials were notified about the incident, the department added.
And despite the concerning color of the water, everything is apparently fine.
“There is no public health threat,” said the Lynchburg Fire Department.
The fire department’s post was shared on Facebook dozens of times, evoking mostly amused reactions.
“With grocery prices these days, I’m running to the creek with a few gallon jugs!!” joked one Facebook user.
Others joked that now was the time to put some chocolate syrup into the creek to make the best of the situation.
Another Facebook user was more direct in his assessment of the situation, writing, “That’s got to stink.”
There were no reports of anyone crying over the spilled milk.

Opinion | Virginia Giuffre’s brothers join protest outside Epstein’s former New Mexico ranch
The brothers of the late Jeffrey Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre joined demonstrators outside Epstein’s former ranch in New Mexico on Sunday to demand more transparency.
The protest, pegged to International Women’s Day, was attended by what the Santa Fe New Mexican estimated to be hundreds of demonstrators, including activists and lawmakers, outside the estate formerly known as Zorro Ranch.
Sky Roberts said it was the first time he had visited the ranch, and demonstrators’ presence was important as a show of “force” that they’re not “going away,” as some people, including the president, try to direct attention away from the Epstein scandal. During his remarks, he rebuked the government for what he called a cover-up and demanded the Justice Department release documents that show who visited the ranch, among other things.
“All those names are in the files, and right now the government is covering those up,” he said, according to Reuters.
Epstein reportedly talked about using the ranch (now owned by Don Huffines, the GOP candidate for Texas state comptroller) for a eugenics-inspired plan to impregnate several women to “seed” the human race with his DNA (there’s no evidence he carried out such a plan). Giuffre’s posthumously released memoir includes allegations about meeting politicians and CEOs at Zorro Ranch, which was also recently linked to an unverified claim in the Epstein files alleging the deceased sex criminal had the bodies of two women buried near the property. After that allegation surfaced among the recently released Epstein files, New Mexico’s state legislature formed a truth commission to investigate Epstein’s activities at the ranch; the state DOJ has opened a probe of its own.
