That morning, when I strolled into the compound, there were many sounds of water .. there are still often. In the morning, all the maids clean patios, walkways, a sudden jet of water.
But this morning, there is more noise than usual. Last night it rained. Rare phenomenon, I also saw for the first time. See is a big word, because it is difficult to see, in fact I hardly realized it was raining. It's something rare enough in one ignores the noise and smell. So by chance I saw the rain. A rain a little temperamental, sluggish, which was almost hard to fall. It must be said that in recent days, the weather TV5 Monde insists on showing thunderstorms Jeddah. But down here, no clouds, though just yesterday, the sun was overshadowed by an army of clouds, which had a color .. unusual.
She is fallen, and even later at night. In the morning we discovered a city so a little 'drowned'. Unusual because built in the desert, Jeddah has no sewage system and rainwater collection. And then .. a little revenge, this rain was loaded with sand. So the result is somewhat chaotic, flooded streets and passages between cars and terrace covered with sand.
So why everyone is so busy this morning, it must quickly remove the traces. For here we are not accustomed to water, and above all, we do not like sand. Original not? The sand is hated, rejected, deleted every day by needy little hands working for you tirelessly. At the risk of hurting your feelings ecological (perhaps nascent), cars are washed here every day.
So this morning, everyone is on a war footing, it must quickly clean the tracks of the day, before the 'master' does wake up and go to work, you must remove dust, dry, clean, slightly more than usual. But do not worry, it only rains in Jeddah in general .. but once a year.
