Well, today is one of those days when we would have been better off staying in bed all day! It has steadily rained all day long. We left for work this morning with light rain and thunder; and it kept on falling all morning. At 12:40, school administrators decided to close the school as many of Riyadh streets were already starting to flood and we had to send all our students back home with their drivers and nannies.

| Access road to the main highway was also flooded |
Within an hour, all students had left and we were let go as well. Traffic was indeed really bad on our five minute drive back to the compound and several streets were already high with water… I’m telling you, the desert cities are not build for rain. They shut down in bad weather! Let’s see what tomorrow brings…

These two pictures were taken on our drive back to the compound this afternoon...As you can see, one of the streets was already totally flooded with a car stranded in the middle of it!
