So I woke up like 10 minutes ago from the loudest thunder I heard in 15 years! Yesterday it already rained here in Jeddah for the first time in about 11 months! Then the officials said it was actually gonna be worse today, but no way in hell I expected something like this .____. I woke up, and saw the wind at like I have no idea how fast! If you guys would expirience this you'd probably find it completely normal. But imagine you live in a city where it doesn't rain in sooo long and you BARELY see clouds from Spring till Fall
Now the thing is, the people here barely have a clue on how to cope with this much amount of rain. Right now I here siren's on the main street. Yesterday already the cities drainage system has failed to do its job as we had flooded streets, in some I could'nt even see the sidewalk anymore. But today we literally got raped, and IT'S STILL RAINING really hard! I'll put up some pics from yesterday later. And I don't know if I'm gonna leave the house today since I have a sedan and I love it. SO yeah :D
Where I live we don't have to be worried at all because I live in the north and we're kind of on a hill so the water flows down, into .......... the south. Where IF you remember last year rain caused IMMENSE damage and 45 people actually died :/ (You can find it on Youtube if you type "Jeddah Flood")
This time I THINK the rain is worse but I really hope the were prepared :( Yesterday they already mobilized the army to help them in the South.
I'll keep you guys updated .___.
PS. The South is like the Ghetto and yeah where the poorer people live...http://arabnews.com/saudiarabia/article226184.ece/REPRESENTATIONS/large_620x350/SAU_RAIN.jpg
