Current wind patterns in Ohio have it aimed right at us. Maybe we'll get some acid snow!

yes but hopefully the prevailing winds from the previous days already moved everything offshore

Depends on the height of the cloud. At 4000m, wind is heading right this way :/

This might sound crazy, but I was just out doing some stargazing with my telescope (~11PM to 1:30AM), and every now and again a warm gust of wind would blow by. Every time it did, I could smell something very odd in it. It was pungent enough that I cut the observing session short and came inside. I don't really know how to describe the smell other than "sweet, but unpleasant".

Apparently vinyl chloride has a mild sweet smell in high concentrations...

Well, that could be something to worry about.. Or, someone else was also star gazing at that time while partaking in some sweet sensemilla burning in the night..
