Description: Ever wanted to surf in Saudi Arabia? These Saudis got a chance to enjoy some serious water sports. In the streets of Jeddah, heavy thunderstorms submerged roads and created ideal conditions for unorthodox surfing. But it's not all fun and games. While stormy weather is not rare in Jeddah, the city's infrastructure often can't handle it. Rescue personnel responded to over 240 events, though no fatalities were reported. For the record, there are better surfing destinations.
