Did you know that some parts of Saudi Arabia are flooded up to the gills right now? Schools are closed, roads are in shambles, and, if meteorologists are to be believed, this might just be the beginning of a flood of biblical proportions. “Rain will continue in Jeddah while heavy rain is expected in Makkah and Taif,” the Saudi General Authority of Meteorology & Environmental Protection said.
But even in the face of disaster, at least one woman is making the most of it. She’s wearing a traditional abaya while doing it, and it’s probably not the most common sight in a predominantly Muslim country. Remember when the Mayor of Cannes banned the burkini for some ridiculous reason? It was a “symbol of Islamic extremism, apparently, because Islamic extremists are almost always wearing burkinis. While the woman above is going the more traditional route, someone should send her a burkini.
