Conyers, Georgia chemical plume | Raw chopper video over site

Описание: A chemical cloud has been emanating from Conyers since Sunday, when a fire broke out at the facility of a company that makes pool and spa treatments and sprinkler system water reacted with chemicals on site. The city of Conyers was evacuated, the wider Rockdale County was put under shelter-in-place guidance and surrounding counties for a time reported the smell of chlorine and a haze in areas.

In a Monday evening update, Rockdale County lifted its shelter-in-place and evacuator orders for all residents and the City of Conyers said residents could return, after nearly the entire city had been put in an evacuation zone, with EPA readings finding "everything is well below contamination level."

Early Tuesday morning around 4 a.m., however, Rockdale County altered the guidance and said the plume is "banking down and moving throughout the county" due to the weather. "If the cloud moves over your vicinity, please shelter in place until the cloud moves out," the county said.
