Did anyone see the moon-rise on Tuesday Jun. 13th, at Chicago's lakefront?

It was the first time I have ever seen a moonrise....and the moon was a red/orange color. It was so brillant and beautiful. I want to know if anyone can explain it to me or have also seen something like that.

Red moons rising are actually fairly common usually as a result of large amount of dust, smoke, or other pollutants in the air
