Fly over the planet Earth: View from ISS

Pretty amazing stuff...the lightning strikes were cool from above as well.

the lightning storms are awesome.

Cool... that view is something that the vast majority of us don't get to see in person. The lightning strikes look like bombs going off!

Computers have made our world soooo much smaller. Cool video

Can anyone tell what path it's taking? I can't really tell what cities it's flying over, especially that long strip of land towards the end...
