After the storm (part 4)
Well, the people in Egypt are not the world’s Best drivers
to begin with (sorry, but it’s true).
In weather like this it can be fatal.
Some smart brains thought they could race through the sometimes very deep puddles.
And learned how to swim.
Or just got stuck.
Some Hotels got new lakes and fountains.
The sewers simply couldn’t handle all the water.
Reports have it, that the drainage was still plugged up
today in many parts of Sharm el Sheikh.
One of my commenters confirmed that indeed part of
the roof of the old airport building came down.
And some roofs on Hotels caved in as well.
So far, we here in Egypt are officially still only with the bare minimum of news.
News from Sharm el Sheikh direct are close to zero.
Check Part one for some links to news Sites.
If you find more, feel free to leave them in the comments
on ‘part 1′ and I’ll add them to the post for the people that
come here in search for news.
Thanks!
Part 5 will come later (or in the morning)

Von dem Unwetter in Ägypten hatte ich bis grad eben bei dir nichts mitbekommen. Normal ist das doch nicht, oder?
Als ich das erste Mal in Ägypten war, die ersten Nacht in Kairo übernachtet hatte und morgens durch das Geräusch von Regen erwacht war ... ja da hatte ich auch ein bisschen gestaunt.
Pass gut auf dich auf
Liebe Grüsse

Danke, Brigitte - Nein, normal ist das nicht.
Das war der schlimmste Sturm in 16 Jahren.
Und wir sind alle an sich noch glimpflich davon gekommen.
In 'Central Sinai' hat's ganze Doerfer zerstoert.
Die Zahl der Toten ist mittl. bei 16 (inoffiziell)
@quilly - the dogs did test it - pics of that some time later
