Interstate 20 in Georgia was closed after a fire broke out at a chemical plant east of Atlanta, sending massive plumes of thick, dark smoke into the air.

This video shows Patrick stumbling upon the awe-inspiring sight after following the smoke trail.

As he approaches the disaster zone, he finds himself stuck in traffic.

Initially worried that the fire signals a greater danger, Patrick is somewhat relieved to learn it was caused by a mishap at BioLab in Conyers, Georgia.

In addition to the road closures, the fire prompted several evacuations as smoke spread beyond the plant.

04:07That stuff's starting to hang real low, guys.
04:36Y'all pray for us.
04:38Pray for us over here in Rockdale County, Georgia,
04:42where we currently have a bio lab on fire.
05:07Oof.
05:14Y'all, some of the colors of this smoke is odd.
05:20It's not looking good.
05:28Oh, Christ.
05:33Oh, Lord.
05:41Oh, that does not look good.
05:48God help us.
06:00God help us.
06:26Again, we are live from Rockdale County, Georgia,
06:31where there is a bio lab that is engulfed.
06:47No idea what they manufacture.
07:03God help us.
07:33Jesus, be with the people downwind of this.
07:44Jesus, be with the firefighters.
07:49Be with the people at that facility.
08:18Hello?
08:20Hello?
08:22What's up?
08:25I am right here in Conyers, right by it, dude.
08:31I'm stuck in traffic.
08:34I can't.
08:40No.
08:41Nope.
08:43I turned the other way.
08:49Oh, trust me, I know, bro.
08:50I'm trying.
08:52I'm only going as fast as they'll let us get out of here.
09:03I mean, we are bumper-to-bumper traffic.
09:05They are pushing everyone off the exit straight to it, man.
09:14Yeah, dude, like, it's not going to lie.
09:18It's a little frightening, you know?
09:22I tried to do some research on it.
09:26All it says is bio lab.
09:38Yeah.
09:40Well, the crazy thing is they're pushing every way...
09:43They pushed everybody off of the interstate, which the interstate is to the left of it.
09:49People could have easily passed by there.
09:52They're pushing people straight off to it.
09:56Like, they pushed people straight off to it, man.
10:00Yeah.
10:02Like, straight off to it.
10:08They blocked the interstate, which people could have safely passed there.
10:12And they're pushing us straight off the exit, straight towards the plume.
10:17Like, it's... can't even make this up.
10:22Exit 80?
10:25Yep, I think.
10:28West Avenue. It's West Avenue.
10:32But this is nuts, man.
10:37It's nuts.
10:40Yeah.
10:44Like, I did a lot of Googling on it.
10:48And literally, it says it's a manufacturer.
10:51And it doesn't say what it manufactures.
10:54It just says it has wheelchair access.
11:05That makes me feel a whole lot better.
11:08Stuff from the CDC comes from bio lab.
11:12That makes me feel so much better, dude.
11:16Not at all. Not at all. You know what I mean?
11:19Like, wow.
11:28Oh, Christ.
11:38Dude, this is insane.
11:43I was wondering if I'm a freaking guy.
11:49I'm a freaking T.F. fucking mole.
11:54Oh, dude, there ain't no telling, man. I don't know.
11:57But you know me. I rush...
12:02I rush to the storms, you know what I mean?
12:04I rush to the craziness these days, man.
12:12Holy smokes, man.
12:26I'm right next to it.
12:37Yeah, they got us messed up here, man.
12:43I was following this trail of smoke.
12:45And I was like, what is this? It looks like a cloud generator.
12:49And I get closer, and I'm like, oh, God.
12:52Did we get hit by a bomb? Did a plane crash?
12:56No, a bio lab's on fire.
13:00I'm just by myself.
