Really Severe Thunderstorms in UAE (my home) right now
I expect this in Oklahoma, not here.



Water covering my front steps



We had straight line winds of 70mph+ and golf ball sized hail... Blew part of a neighboring car cover room off. Expect some trees to be down.

1. My dear JCMach1...
That does sound strange...

I think of UAE as dry, and without rain, year-round. Climate change is happening...

Stay safe!

2. Tree limbs down all over... street flooding
My family was caught out in it as I was staying back home with a cold.

4. Yikes!
I HATE thunderstorms! We've never had 70 mph winds or golf ball sized hail, though.

Stay safe!

5. that was a doozy out here in the marina as well.
hope we see a bit more rain before the heat really hits. it cleared up the dust storm nicely even if it was a bit too forceful in arrival. :-)
