Dubai Thunderstorm






It's been a couple months, but we finally got some rain last night. In fact, we downright got hammered by a good ol thunderstorm. I was at a restaurant, sitting on the terrace when the plough winds hit and sent menus flying and plates crashing. Papers say they had 60+ knot gusts at the airport. Lots of rain, street flooding (since there are virtually no sewers), and traffic accidents. I wasn't driving, but I'm sure the roads were slick after no rain in such a long time. I guess, as a matter of full disclosure, I should mention that I also washed my truck 2 days ago...I take full responsibility for the rain.

Now, the day after, the temps have dropped to near 70F and apparently I'm getting Dubaified since I'm wearing jeans and a long sleeve T-shirt to stay warm.
