Only in Jeddah

Last night was so horrible; it started with mom finding a lizard (abu breis) in the kitchen (which dad bravely killed) and ended up with very bad weather outside the house.

Me and mom were deep in sleep when suddenly we heard some very loud noises which sounded a lot like explosions. But it turned out it was a really bad rain storm which had hit Jeddah, accompanied by very strong lightening and VERY loud thunder. We thought the ground was going to explode underneath us! It was a real nightmare. My mommy said she had never heard or seen such a scary sound and storm as this. It seemed like the whole night was full of crazy thunder, heavy rain and the sound of hail crashing into our house's roof. Mommy was so scared I could feel her hand holding me and hugging Daddy with the other. I wasn't scared because I feel secure inside :-) Plus I am a brave boy who is not scared of anything ;-)

After the storm had gone and everything has settled down, I started kicking my mom to make her feel better, then I went back to sleep.

Then this morning we went out to see what happened and there were trees which had fallen over, as you can see in the photo, and streets of Jeddah were flooded with water. Only in Jeddah can u see such storms.

Bye for now :-)
