Students Caught In Flash Flooding Have Been Saved By Civil Defence In Dammam
Some students in Dammam were met with a bit of a muddle on Sunday after school buses sank in the middle of massive floods.
Thankfully, the Civil Defence managed to save every student out of the sunken vehicles, by use of floating boats to transfer them.
The Kingdom has been experiencing heavy rains, thunderstorms and flooding this November
Prof. Mansour Almazroui, director of the Center of Excellence for Climate Change Research at the Jeddah-based King Abdul Aziz University (KAU) even told Arab Newsthat this month has probably been the wettest in Saudi’s history.
