Here are 10 of the most unusual weather-related events that captured widespread social media attention in 2015. Number 10 - In May, temperatures got so high in Delhi, India that even the roads were melting. The disfigured road markings could be seen at several intersections in the city.
Number 9 - In January, Grand Canyon experienced a total cloud inversion. This occurs when a warm layer of air covers cold air at the bottom of the canyon. If moisture is present, condensation results in the fog formation.
Number 8 - Early February, parts of Washington, Oregon, and Idaho experienced "milky rain" which left a filthy residue on things from coats to cars. Scientists at Washington State University say the likely source was a shallow saline lake in southcentral Oregon.
Number 7 - Water-sucking vortex opened up on Lake Texoma along Texas-Oklahoma border. The hole developed as a result of controlled draining methods, initiated due to the water level being too high after heavy rains.
Number 6 - In August, a satellite image captured three hurricans together in the Pacific Ocean in a rare occurrence.
Number 5 - A landslide near Santa Clarita, California caused a lengthy stretch of road to rise, buckle and crack apart.
Number 4 - Nearly 70 mph winds ripped through the desert region north of Los Angeles, overturning big rigs.
Number 3 - In August, a giant sinkhole opened up in Brooklyn, New York. Heavy rain was the suspected cause.
Number 2 - In Spring, after the melting of ice, a U.S. Coast Guard aircrew captured remarkable photos of several shipwrecks in the clear blue waters of Lake Michigan.
Number 1 - Prolonged drought in the West revealed historic sites and artifacts in the Lake Mead area that had been buried under water.
