The Airport was due to open on Saturday (today), however because all the wadis are in flood it is pretty much impossible for most people to get there.

I guess once the roads open up there will be an 'evacuation' with all the local airlines sending shuttle planes - to get stranded people back to Saudi (or elsewhere).

For anyone that is concerned about a hurricane/cyclone hitting Qatar - don't be! ... the waters of the Arabian Gulf won't carry it this far 'upstream'.
