Hmmm. I wonder how well those Hizballah weapons bunkers drain?

Storms Wreak Havoc in Chouf, Bekaa

Spring-time storms have damaged crops across the Chouf Mountains and the Bekaa Valley and led to the flooding of Al-Assi River, Lebanese dailies reported Friday. Torrential rains in the past few days caused flooding in several parts of the Bekaa, transforming streets into rivers and leaving residents stranded in their homes.

The Daily Star quoted farmers in the upper Chouf villages as saying that high winds and hail this year have smashed both trees and fruits.

Tons of fish also perished when Al-Assi flooded leaving behind heavy damages to farms, parks and nearby cafes, An Nahar newspaper said.

However, the weather is expected to improve over the weekend, according to forecasters.
