Season’s first rain
The Khaleej Times has a story about the first rain fall of the year in the northern emirates. I guess it is like when Horry County gets just a little snow, people just don’t know what to do with it. The paper said, “the Dubai Police received between dawn until 9am reports of around 500 traffic accidents caused due to speeding and poor visibility due to the rains.” Now I know that Dubai is a big place but 500 traffic accidents from around 6am to 9am, is a bit much and I do not think Horry County is that bad.
Update: It also rained in Abu Dhabi last night. Don’t know how much it rained but the ground is covered and there are puddles here and there. Cole and Bella got thoroughly dirty when they took their morning walk
