i dont mind if it keeps raining all day, but the BBQ was supposed to be tonight, and invited many people already

so if stops raining by lets say 4 pm it would be great

isn't the nad al sheba area mostly desert, why do you live there?

***xzmattzx*** · February 23rd, 2006, 06:41 AM

what does the desert look like when it rains? do things start getting very green over there after a rain? do your "regular trees" (rather than palm trees) get a little greener?

DarkBlueBoss · February 23rd, 2006, 06:47 AM

for towers, i dont live there, i work there

Rain causes 427 road accidents
Staff Report
Published: 02/23/2006 12:00 AM (UAE)

Abu Dhabi: Rain in Abu Dhabi and Al Ain led to 427 minor car accidents, according to an Abu Dhabi police report on Wednesday.

It noted 300 accidents in Abu Dhabi and 127 in Al Ain.

There were some injuries in Al Ain, said Major Mohammad Ebrahim Al Ameri, head of the Rescue and Ambulance section in Al Ain police.

He said the accidents happened due to speeding "despite poor visibility and failure to leave adequate space between cars".

true, but i guess my question can be complimented with some pictures to explain what i mean by "green" and "greener":

a picture of mine from las vegas, a desert climate with little rainfall

a picture of mine from a somewhat-rural area of delaware, a temperate climate with plenty of rain

notice how delaware seems greener than las vegas? do your trees have a lighter tone when it doesn't rain?

Towers · February 23rd, 2006, 07:16 AM

hahahahahah, that picture of Lasvegas kinda reminds me of the Jumeirah area in Dubai, though minus the moutains

Krazy · February 23rd, 2006, 09:19 AM

I got woken up by the stupid lightning

***AltinD*** · February 23rd, 2006, 10:18 AM

You're lucky. The Springs and Jumeirah Islands residents were woken by the water entering their houses/villas from all directions.

Face81 · February 23rd, 2006, 10:30 AM

And the rain goes on!

Yay!

juiced · February 23rd, 2006, 11:14 AM

Water seeped into our house as well in well in the Lakes

The problem seems to be with villas, a friend has theirs flooded in Jumeirah, and apparently some Jumeirah Islands residents called Radio 2 this morning to say part of the villa structure had collapsed?

Like Firsttimers! This kind of reminds me of a video of americans driving on the highway, and it had some ice on the surface, and like 10 cars crashed (at the speed of 20kmh), they even crashed into the ambulance car afterwards.
