A smoky Randall Road looking north toward the big American Flag on the cellular tower at the Crystal Lake Waste Treatment Plant.

The McHenry Police Department tells us why:

SMOKE IN THE AIR

Be advised the cause of the smoke and smell is due to a huge forest fire in MN that is getting into the main air stream and bringing the smoke into our area. There is more info that will follow as we get it.

Well, that clears that question up.
