Where there's smoke in Chicago....

....there's a fire in Minnesota.  A large forest fire is raging in northern Minnesota and the affects of it are being felt in Chicago and its suburbs.  Smoke from the fire is being blown in Chicago's direction by wind and northern suburbanites are experiencing watery eyes and trouble breathing.  The fire in Minnesota was originally started by a lightening strike back in August and has been burning ever since.  The smoke is expected to lighten or clear by today or tomorrow.
