@shabz_la_shabz:

Worst STORM in Abu Dhabi! Stay home, stay safe. I just about got home safely. Cars damaged but we are safe! Don’t leave your homes.

@DrShaheenK:

Received a warning alert from both Sharjah and Dubai police of bad weather in the UAE. Must be bad. First time we ever received such types of warning.

@favory_favorite:

Sandstorm, rain and thunder at the stables. Branches flew through the air, lightning [hit] the sky and the rain flew horizontally over the horizon. The electricity was cut … some of the horses panicked, others trembled by the sudden temperature drop of 10 degrees celcius.

@SavageCabbage77:

Phew! A rare night for Abu Dhabi! Strong winds, thunder, lightning … The kids in UAE get so excited when [it rains]. #weather
