You are so lucky - in Dubai its just heat, sand and humidity ... wish I can feel some rain on my face!
I remember hearing that in California, when it rains, the highways turn into disaster areas. It has something to do with pollutant build-up on the roads mixing with water, coupled with a general lack of familiarity with wet conditions.
How do the Emiratis fare?
Brian, it also rained here in Greenville today. We've had quite a bit but I'm sure it's not as exciting as in UAE. KC
I didn't get to drive until after it had stopped raining, but I was amazed at how long the water stayed on the road. I figured with the dry ground and low humidity that it would either soak into the ground or evaporate almost immediately.
Instead there were places in the road with several inches of water even at 8 last night. I have noticed in my walks that the drains are completely filled with sand, so that probably explains it. I didn't see any accidents though.
