Apocalypse in Mecca now! The Kaaba is closed forever! A storm with a wind of 350 km/h!

The Meteorological Department of Saudi Arabia classified the storm as highly unusual for this time of year, attributing it to a rare convergence of meteorological factors. The intensity of the storm prompted concerns about potential damage to the city’s infrastructure, but early reports indicate that the impact has been less severe than initially feared. The Grand Mosque, which houses the Kaaba, experienced minor flooding, but the structure itself remained intact, a testament to its architectural resilience. The Saudi government has assured that all necessary steps are being taken to restore normalcy and provide assistance to those affected by the storm.
