Hail storm

Hailstorm yesterday

Temp dropped by over 10 degrees yesterday. The sky was dark and winds were very strong and cold. And a hailstorm pummeled the country for most of the day. It was of biblical epic proportions. Everyone was running for shelter and shops were moving their outdoor displays before they got destroyed. Children played outdoors as they rarely see hail storms here. Indoors we could hear the hail pelting the windows. This made up for the lack of rain during winter. Apparently the hail and rain hit as far south as the farthest southern city of Eilat. Today the weather remains the same though the hail have stopped. The weekend will see another bout of storms. I am glad we're getting this rain ... despite the inconvenience.

Engineers at work

Our engineers have been inspecting many buildings in our Aleppo parish area. It's a difficult job as there are simply too many buildings to be inspected, and the roads are almost non-existent as collapsed buildings have blocked them. Let's hope at least some families will be able to return home to live. There's still no electricity and water though. It's very difficult on everyone but no one has lost hope. 

My cardiologist told me that taking the medicines are useless if I am still stressed and overworked. So I'll start giving up some work soon. Stay tune to see what they'll be.
