Flooding? (ankle deep)

I can't see the pictures you've loaded but I did see the youtube videos.

How many millimetres of rain fell?

If that was you official total, that would be like the rain from 5-10 cyclones/hurricanes!

2.5 metres = about 9 feet!

How deep was the actual rain total btw?
Or do they avoid taking proper rainfall measurements, since it hardly ever rains in Saudi Arabia?

I think I like the sound of that; so dry they have no formal system of rain measurement.

I live in the Great Lakes area and our climate is wet enough
that most people's favourite weather is when we get no rain for 2-3 weeks. (which for us is a mild-drought)
I've seen several June months with 27 days of rain totalling about 100 hrs for the month; it's easy to hate rain after months like that!

Is English your first language btw?
I'm impressed that your spelling and grammar seem to be correct.

Are you referring to last June?

I'm grateful to live in a wet climate. Despite numerous cloudy and rainy days, there are plenty of dry, sunny days to make up for it. Not only that, but it keeps the air cleaner, washes away the pollen, keeps everything fresh and green, and keeps our lakes, dams, and rivers nice and full.

The Great Lakes is a national treasure (for the U.S. and Canada). Water is gold.

No, but 2008 and other years here.

In New Jersey? Maybe.
In Toronto, sunshine is scarce enough that it is never really expected
and never quite "makes up for" our cloudy spells to most people.

Nay!...Sunshine is gold.

I'd prefer a glass of water than a glass of sunshine.

I personally think the "cloudiness" of places like Upstate New York, Michigan, or parts of Canada is slightly exaggerated. But that is just my opinion. I guess I live on the edge of the "cloudy zone" and the "sunny zone" (if that makes any sense). I believe Binghamton, NY averages somewhere around 212 cloudy days a year and I only live about 2 hours southeast of there. Seems that the farther south you go, there's more sunshine (no surprise there). North Jersey and NYC can be cloudy while South Jersey can have clear skies.

Of course there are bizarre months here and there (like June 2009).
