Wet in the desert

It has been a crazy last couple of days here. The Arab-African Summit is going on this week, which has shut down the major roads we travel. Traffic has been a nightmare, but the government declared a holiday today, tomorrow, and possibly Thursday, so the roads were  less crowded. And to top it off, we got rain! A friend of ours took these pictures while picking up her kids from school.
 Yes, a real downpour with thunder, lightning, and flooding...lots of flooding. And some leaky houses to show for it.
And that is our crazy week!

Wow! It looks like the same results we have from a mid-west downpour. Is this type of rain unusual for this time of year or is it just to be expected? A good cleaning from all the sand and dust. Watch out for the crazy drivers and have a good next few days. Love, Dad and Mom P.
