Flood in Qatar !!!

Day before yesterday (9th Nov) it was a heavy rain over Industrial Area for an Hour from (2pm to 3 pm). It was much joy to see raining here (nostalgic...). Had a nice drive along the Road to Barwa Truck Park. Unfortunately Street 42 43 and 44 was heavily flooded. It was a surprise to me to know that there is no drainage facility in Industrial Area!!!

Standard for this time of year. The fun thing is going into the puddles and not knowing how deep they are :)

Industrial Area --- If U ever drive there, it seems like an occupied area of an enemy, the most regretted place in Qatar.

thing not only here in Qatar but all over the Middle East as rain is scarce.

Precisely the heavy flooding that came to Oman and Jeddah this year or last year Hope it won't happen here. Avoid passing underpasses during heavy rains, water can accumulate fast!

sorry suzain, but how did the pictures look nice whilst almost everywhere is flooded? it's somewhat saddening for me. just my opinion though.
