The UAE was hit with more than 24 hours of on-again off-again rain ending last night (or so it seems...they same more is on the way). The building in which I work has seen better days, so the rain, which was torrential at times, won the battle over the structure. My colleague snapped this photo with his point and shoot, and he's quite proud of the composition. It really summed up that day. Fear of more rain today (rain that never came) lead to my superiors calling a 'rain day'.

Deadly flooding in Jeddah, torrential rain in the UAE--what's going on in the Middle East?!
Your colleague can be proud. The people aspects of this photo are priceless.
Good luck with your weather.
I like the fellow going out the door pulling up his dishdasha... so typical when it rains in the Gulf.
This is a land of extremes. Either no rain or it pours and floods...

I've been here for a few years and it seems to begin raining periodically from now through Feb or April, then back to hot and sunny. I like the cooler weather though.
This country certainly isn't built for rain, that's for sure.
Good photo too, I also like the people aspects of it... especially he with the enquiring mind looking up at the leak.... (worth a caption).
i thought leaking is only in our offices!! apparantly its all over the country!
