Rain Drenches Doha
No, rain is not lashing Doha, but we woke up this morning to a God-bless drenching of Doha. I know my friends in the great Pacific Northwest will not get it – but rain here is rare, and wonderful. Just seeing the rain dropping heavily on the streets, the children running around screeching for joy – oh, what fun!
The laborers are all bundled up as if it is the middle of a snowstorm in Chicago – two sit shivering under an umbrella while one brave man continues sweeping:
I have to run around checking all the windows. Fortunately, today the rain is coming straight down, but when the rain is truly “lashing” Doha, our windows are not so good at being watertight, and I have a supply of old towels I use to sop up the excess which burbles inside:
A wonderful, wet Friday, a great day for a drenching when people don’t have to get to work and can stay safely inside. Because Doha doesn’t often get drenched, the drainage systems don’t work well, and parts of streets are flooded.
