  • Electricity all over Lebanon affected by today’s rain

    We all know the electricity situation here is very miserable, but I really find it hard to believe that three power plants, Jiyyeh, Zouk, and Deir Amar, went off the grid in the afternoon because it BARELY rained around the country today! Electricity consequently went off in the Beirut, Mount Lebanon, and the North.

    This winter is definitely promising to be a fantastic season for all generators owners!

    Update:

    Even worse, check these two videos showing what the rain did to some regions. And don’t blame the rainfall amounts, it’s actually all because of the poor infrastructure we’ve got thanks to our dear government!


  • Huge photos directory of Lebanon

    You’ve got to check this old photos directory of Lebanon by the digital documentation center at AUB, which I discovered through one of Sietske’s latest posts. It has more than 12,000 photos categorized by location (Mohafaza and Qadaa), and you can easily spend hours browsing them!

  • Hazmieh road

    A friend of mine sent me the below photos showing how Al-Sayyad roundabout and Hazmieh road should look like after all the current work is done there.

    I hope it’ll end soon!
