00:00Welcome to a new episode of your show, Nasr and Ahnou.
00:04Today is Friday the 21st, 28th, 26th, 21st of August, 2026, 8th of Rabi al-Awal.
00:14Today, a very strong and unusual storm hit the Gulf countries.
00:20Specifically, this very severe storm hit the United Arab Emirates and parts of Saudi Arabia as well.
00:31Let me start with the UAE, specifically the storm in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, which was hit by a
00:39very severe storm.
00:42Let's go and see this powerful storm as it struck the city of Manias in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi.
00:50Just a short while ago, of course, this storm made the Abu Dhabi municipality issue a warning
00:55and it issued urgent decisions to close all parts.
01:03Inside the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, the municipality closed all parks, gardens and also beaches
01:11and suspended all events in Abu Dhabi until further notice.
01:18We saw the strength of this storm just like we're seeing in front of us now.
01:22What I know is this, it's very rare for these massive clouds to reach Abu Dhabi like this, especially at
01:30this time of year, honestly.
01:34Let me take you to see this second clip, which also shows the strength of the storm.
01:41It's a clip that shows the power of the severe storm, the trip of Abu Dhabi.
01:46Let me also take you to see this third clip.
01:52This clip actually documents the damage caused by the very severe storm in the streets of Abu Dhabi today, Friday.
02:03I don't know if anyone from Abu Dhabi is watching us.
02:07Let us know in the comments.
02:09For example, you know, Abu Dhabi is a big emirate and includes several cities like Baniyas, as I mentioned, and
02:15also now.
02:16Even the Al Ain Abu Dhabi road, it's an international road that connects the city of Al Ain,
02:21which actually belongs to the Emirate of Abu Dhabi and leads to Abu Dhabi itself.
02:26The very strong storm also hit this road, and this storm caused some damage to the road as well.
02:36As you can see in front of you on the screen, it was a very tough day for people in
02:41the Emirate of Abu Dhabi.
02:43This wasn't just happening in the United Arab Emirates, but also in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia,
02:49specifically in the south of Saudi Arabia, in the city of Jazan.
02:55Let me wrap up from Saudi Arabia with this clip, which documents or records the massive shelf cloud as it
03:01attacks the Saudi city of Jazan.
03:03It's a shelf cloud, and inside it, there are a large number of lightning flashes and strikes.
03:10Peace.
03:11To all our people in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, I was with you, Ahmad al-Bramaw, the host of
03:15the show,
03:16What's Happening on Blocair.
