Intense flames and smoke can be seen billowing into the air from all over the windy city.
The Chicago Fire Department tweeted that the blaze was on the 50th floor on the east side of the building, and that one person was hurt. The fire was being fought as snow fell on the city, but was “under control” around 3:20 p.m. local time (4:20 p.m. ET), the fire department added. h/t nbcnews
