How it pours, pours, pours,

"It never rains it pours"

This quote is apt for the moment. After days and days of false hope. The heavens finally opened and it poured! The cloud art in my previous posts were maybe the warm up for the deluge which finally hit the UAE last night.

It rained and continues to rain even now. The morning was cold and the drops came not in their usual "sprinkle and disappear style," but rather this time in a downpour. I decided to go for a long drive which ended up all the way to the Northern Emirates. Here are some scenes on the roads.

How it pours, pours, pours,
In a never-ending sheet!
How it drives beneath the doors!
How it soaks the passer's feet!
How it rattles on the shutter!
How it rumples up the lawn!
How 'twill sigh, and moan, and mutter,
From darkness until dawn.

~ Rossiter Johnson, Rhyme of the Rain
