Erdem submitted some amazing lightning photos to CNN’s iReport. Here’s what he had to say about them:
“We had an awesome lightning storm in New York City last night. I took these photos from our window on the corner of 58th Street and First Avenue, 12th Floor. In the photo with the big lightning bolt, the building with the lit top is Bloomberg Building. Right behind that is the Trump Building (old GM Building) then Time Warner Building (CNN).”
Temperatures throughout the world ranged from -65 degrees Fahrenheit in Alaska to 105 degrees in Sydney, Australia this week. Rain and high winds lashed Washington state as cold temperatures and snow blanketed Europe. The Sacramento Bee has assembled a collection of 22 extreme weather photos from around the world.
In the photo above, a canopy of trees hangs heavy with snow on Friday, January 2, 2009 in Spokane, Washington. Spokane finished December with 61.5 inches of snow, far eclipsing the previous one-month record of 56.9 inches set in January 1950. Photo by AP / The Spokesman-Review / Christopher Anderson.
