Heavy Rain Causes Flooding And Traffic Across Lebanon

Lebanon just got a major soaking! Heavy rain swept across the country, turning streets into rivers and leaving drivers in a soggy traffic jam. From city centers to government buildings, no spot was safe from the downpour.

Floods hit hard and fast

Rain didn’t hold back as it poured down on Hay al-Sellom, where streets filled up in no time and cars could barely budge. The scene was wild, with drivers braving the flood and neighbors watching their neighborhood disappear under water.

Major roads turned into water parks

Main roads like Ouzai, the Costa Brava Chevrolet Tunnel, the Al Rihab Msharafieh intersection, and the Airport Road all faced serious flooding. Traffic crawled as cars and vans tried to make their way through deep water, headlights reflecting off the giant puddles.

Even the Labor Ministry got soaked

The rain didn’t stop at the streets. It made its way right into the Labor Ministry’s main center, flooding corridors and waiting rooms with muddy water. People had to perch on benches to keep their feet dry. The unexpected indoor flood left everyone wondering just how much more rain Lebanon could handle!
