Today has been so thrilling as a incredible thunder, lightening, rain, wind and hail storm blast across Doha!

Here is a video where I’m filming the rain and it starts to hail!  I first think it’s rocks blowing off the roof – but I think to myself…how can there be rocks on the roof….when I see it is actually hail!!

Hail that blew in while I had the screen door opened to take video!!

Here are pictures during the storm:

The rain slowly begins:Rain is now pounding against the windows!Pooh Bear and Bob Jazeera sticking close to me!Birds seeking shelter in the windows:As the rain settles a bit, finches come to the feeder at the kitchen window to eat:As the storm moved slowly across the city, lightening was visible and near as large jagged bolts crackled down from the heavens!!

After the worst of the storm moved off, I walked around the compound to see if any damage had happened.  Thankfully only a few trees lost some branches!

The storm was so bad, that school has been canceled tomorrow for clean-up and repair!!!  A day off!!!  Woohoo!!!

According to a rain radar, more rain is on the way!!

So exciting!!
