In the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, in the Shakra governorate in the Riyadh region, strong winds and heavy rains were observed on Friday, February 16th. The power and suddenness of these natural phenomena led to serious consequences and left a trail of damage.
Eyewitnesses posted videos on social media capturing harrowing moments experienced by citizens in the Al-Hassi center, north of Riyadh, after strong winds tore apart their tent and flung it 66 feet away.
A metal structure couldn't withstand the force of the wind, lifting it into the air and tearing it apart, with debris scattered everywhere. The metal structure fragments damaged a nearby vehicle.
The damage was not limited to buildings and vehicles; the flying metal parts caused harm to anything in their path.
As a result of the storm, some camels suffered fractures and injuries from falls or collisions with flying metal debris.
The National Meteorology Center immediately declared a red alert and warned that the situation would persist until early Saturday morning. The warning extended not only to Riyadh but also to neighboring provinces. Strong winds, hail, heavy rains, and thunderstorms were expected in these areas.
A strong storm was preceded by a sharp drop in temperature in some parts of the north and northwest of the kingdom. The cooling was accompanied by strong surface winds. The Tabuk region, in particular, was severely affected due to the intrusion of extremely cold winds, lowering the temperature to an extreme level approaching 37.4 degrees Fahrenheit. In the Jabal Al-Lawz foothills, heavy rains were accompanied by snowfall.
Intense rains in the Tabuk region over 48 hours caused severe flooding, river overflow, and water stagnation on roads and in residential areas. This led to the closure of major highways, disrupted traffic, and impacted daily life and commercial activities. Local authorities are taking measures to combat floods and landslides.
According to the weather forecast from the National Meteorology Center, there are expected threats ranging from moderate to severe, accompanied by downpours with hail and strong winds stirring up dust in some areas of Al-Baha, Mecca Al-Mukarrama, Al-Qassim, Riyadh, and the northern parts of the Eastern Province.
Civil defense has urged caution and recommended staying in safe places during strong winds and precipitation.
Sudden storms, sharp temperature drops, hail, and snow in the territory of Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and across the entire Arabian Peninsula are a new climatic reality that is rapidly changing and will exacerbate the situation, especially by the end of 2024.
An international collective of scientists, conducting extensive research on the increasing global catastrophes, has concluded that the root cause lies in the Earth's core. This conclusion was confirmed back in 1998 when there was a shift in the planet's inner core towards the northeast, in the direction of the Taymyr Peninsula. This served as evidence of the destabilization of the core and, consequently, all processes on the planet it influences. But how and why does the core affect the climate of our planet? What consequences await us all in the coming years? All the answers and forecasts for the next 7 years can be found on the "Global Crisis. The Responsibility" forum. Take care of yourselves and stay vigilant!
