    OT: Smoke from wild fire invading Chicago area!

    Well we had a lot of smoke and haze that blew into the Chicago area today from a huge 100,000 acre wildfire that is still burning in northern Minnesota! This fire has been burning since August 18th when it was started by a lightning strike. While it seems like the smoke is thinning out a bit tonight, with more north winds expected later this week we might still get some more in here. It's possible some may have made it into parts of central Illinois as well. Just wondering if anyone down there encountered any.

      Well there was definitely a strong odor in the air yesterday afternoon. But I think the majority of it blew into northern Indiana after it passed over our area.
