Amman Floods

After a long hiatus, after three solid days of rain in this normally dehydrated country, it seems like a good time to restart the blog with some pictures of Amman under water, sifted from a few different resources online. Our neighborhood has not seen any of the type of flooding pictured below, but several of the scenes are just minutes away, and places we travel through or to on a near daily basis. I believe the rainfall we have received is somewhat unprecedented, and I can remember only one other time during our almost seven years here when it came so hard, and that was just for an afternoon. This has lasted, as I said above, for three days now, and it continues.
