This was due to Atomospheric lensing when warm lake air is trapped under much denser colder air. This is over an astounding distance of 85 miles with no elevation difference between the two cities.
This is the Chicago skyline from St. Joseph Michigan, 60 miles across the Lake.
Oh and if the skyline looks like it's upside-down, that's because it is. The bending of the light flips the image.
