They’re the images you decided are worth way more than a thousand words: The most compelling, consequential or controversial local pictures of the past week, according to Fresno’s Twitter users.

Hoodline analyzed Twitter data to find the images that most captured the city’s attention on the social media platform. We collected all tweets with images from users in the city, used our own methodology to calculate the most popular and ranked them according to local interest.

Last week’s downpour was on a lot of minds, as @DaleYurongABC30 shows here.

@CristinaABC30 was there to catch a rainbow after the storm.

Gov. Gavin Newsom signed his first bill last week, a measure to fund clean drinking water, in Parlier, at a school where children are drinking bottled water. @GeneABC30 had this image.

And @KimKMPH tweeted this congratulations to Nicole Torres’ class at Clovis North High School, the latest awardees of a Fox 26 and Mor Furniture for Less initiative to give grants to local classrooms.
