So today’s expected thunderstorms went from beautiful rains, to horrible floods then sunshines after the mess. A multitude of events that took place in a span of a few hours. 

Naturally, people in Jeddah took to twitter to share their thoughts or activities.. proving once again that people in the Kingdom can find ways to find optimism through anything.

Here are 21 tweets we can all probably relate to or at least be amused with from today’s events:
