Last night around 11:30PM I grabbed my camera and started snapping some photos. After just a few minutes of taking photos I went to sleep. This morning I woke up and uploaded these to CNN.com iReport. Just 10 minutes later I received a call from CNN asking if they could use my photos on CNN.com and CNN TV. Here is the CNN iReport: http://www.ireport.com/docs/DOC-55983
