Glynn County residents describe ‘miserable’ odor that left several students with headaches

An unexplained odor that swept through neighborhoods north of Brunswick, Georgia on Thursday left several people with headaches and sent multiple students and staff from Altama Elementary School to the hospital, Glynn County officials said. Residents in the Kensington Park area described the smell as overpowering, prompting some to leave their homes and seek fresh air. “It was so miserable,” Nesha Mack told News4JAX. “You had to go out to your car and get a mask. It was exhausting. You couldn’t really breathe.” Reporter Erik Avanier has the latest.
