World travel and waterspouts: This week's I-Report highlights

(CNN) -- Wildfires, waterspouts and a new set of world wonders made the headlines this week, and you participated in the coverage of these events by sending in your photos and video and showing us how you see the news.

This week, Karl Lavandeyra sent us shots of the smoky results of a fire burning Wednesday at an unoccupied control tower believed to be used to assign aircraft to gates at Miami International Airport in Miami, Florida.

We also saw fire photos from Kris Concannon of Hines, Oregon, who was traveling back home Monday from the city of Bend, Oregon, when she saw a fire going on.

She grabbed a few snapshots and got out of there as soon as she could. By the time she was in her home, that same road she had traveled on, U.S. Highway 20, was closed.

But that's just the beginning. Craig Patterson of Lafayette, Louisiana, sent a snapshot of three waterspouts in the Gulf of Mexico.

On Sunday, Caroline Phillips got a little extra amusement at her family reunion in Bemus Point, New York, when a raccoon popped out of a hole in a tree and sprawled out on a branch for all to see.

Meanwhile, Jay Schulz was tracking flooding throughout Tyler, Texas. He captured water rising past stop signs and vehicles trapped in the murky flow.

I-Reporters provided several more photos showing how you're beating the heat around the country, plus an overwhelming number of photos of the newly announced new Seven Wonders of the World (and a few of your nominations for places that didn't make the list).

We've even received a number of photo tributes to Harry Potter in anticipation of the upcoming movie and book from the series as well as snapshots from wait lines and the red carpet.

So keep sending those look-alike photos and pictures of dogs in glasses. Or, better yet, send us a video review.
