Last Night’s Talk Shows on Alexandria drowning

Last night’s talk shows were all about our favorite Mediterranean city drowning: Alexandria witnessed an unprecedented amount of rain yesterday, giving us some very concerning and amusing clips of its streets overflowing with water and swallowing cars. Alexandria Governor Mohamed El Sherif said on Ala Mas’ouleety that the city’s streets are now dry and traffic has resumed (watch, runtime: 6:41).

Alexandria has given all non-essential state employees the day off and shut down schools today, not because it’s expecting more showers, but in order for the authorities to easily drain the remaining water from the streets without having the usual volumes of traffic on the roads. Kelma Akhira (watch, runtime: 2:59) and Al Hayah Al Youm (watch, runtime: 1:40) also covered the weather.
