We were at a beach just north of Al Khor. The thunder and lightning was practically on top of us. Yet many people stayed in the sea, which I actually found quite comical.
Then on the way back to Doha the rain came. I've finally see something that scares drivers here, the rain! Pretty much everyone had pulled over along the highway or were driving very slowly. Where those of us who are used to driving in the rain were driving at normal speeds.
