A normal day for us

by NicoleB Email

…but not for others.
The North of Kuwait must have gotten pretty hard by a weird storm late this afternoon.
Lots of rain and wind.

We had a great lightning show out on the ocean and a bit of wind, but no rain.
It was my first lightning I saw in Kuwait.
Hope everyone is safe and sound out there!

This one was taken around 2 p.m. - no pictures of the lighting though - I’m too slow for that ;)


Have some too, maybe with pictures, please leave a link
:)

Here you can see Chika’s Doomsday

and Pearl’s experience

Mdme Intlxpatr has a report as well.

3Baid has a collection of pictures and links to other bloggers.

Update:
The storm came back half an hour / hour later. But again, skipped Mangaf and just hit Fahaheel.
We got a cool lightning show and a few drops of rain ;)

Here’s a flash at the beginning of the Video - you can skip the rest - my first ever lightning on camera - whoot ;)

Sad news though: Three people got killed. I will post the newspaper thingy later.

I never expected the day to turn out like that, especially after checking your blog with the pictures in the morning! It's :crazy: the weather here!

Holy Canoly - the storm came back after taking a stroll over the ocean but it still skipped Mangaf. It was all over Fahaheel though.
Weird.

LOL! Your lucky Mangaf didn't get hit! I guess it was some sort of man made storm :P Just imagine! Someone wanted to hit all the cities of Kuwait except Mangaf lol!

Yepp, I'm sure that was it.

Because that storm came back half an hour / hour later, but again, we only got a little bit of rain but a beautiful view of big sets of lightning.

Odd.....

It wasn't me, I swear ;)!!!

I love lightening. Sometimes I stand at the window for the whole thunderstorm, just to watch the sky.
