As the massive smoke plume from Sunday’s chemical plant fire in Conyers, Georgia, continues to hover over Rockdale County and surrounding communities, residents have filed the first lawsuits

Heavy smoke was causing low visibility Wednesday along Interstate 20 east of Atlanta as chemicals continued spewing from a beleaguered chlorine facility, and emergency officials warn that smoke from the disaster scene is projected to move toward Georgia's capital city after sunset Wednesday.

A shelter-in-place order had just ended Monday evening for more than 90,000 people closest to the chemical plant where a fire sent a huge plume of orange and black smoke into the Georgia sky on Sunday.
