Melontar – day 2 of 3: The day Mina flooded

4:30 ~ 6:45am
Fajr, tazkirah.

6:45 ~ 9:00am
Breakfast, rest.

9:50 ~ 11:50am
To Bin Dawood - buy things for Naza.
Naza can’t eat solids. bought cereal & choc drinks, milk & chocolate snacks - twix, lion bars. Ah, been years since my last lion bars.
It’s quite windy on my way back, dust and light trashes on the streets blew away up to the sky.

3:30pm
Heavy rain.
Streets of Mina flash flooded.
most people's footwear washed away by rainwater. alhamd, mine (the pair ayah gave me) found ok. Found only one of Naza's, though.
Tents have drips of rain trickling in.
Friends received sms from Malaysia saying that the flood is in the news, citing sighting of twin rainbow. tried looking for the twin rainbow, but not allowed to go outside.
pity the sellers outside, they lost their trade things to the flood.
The streets turned into a river now.
I went here and there in maktab 105 to take photos in the rain.

Flood receded at 5.15pm thereabout.


Ustaz lead recital of Yaseen and Tahlil at 5pm til 6pm.

at around 8:30 after isya, went out for melontar with mak, naza and akak. we went with UTAS group along with guides.
