BEIRUT: It only took 20 minutes of rain in Beirut on Tuesday afternoon to flood the Rafic Hariri International Airport with water.
The airport weather station recorded 47 mm of rainfall in 20 minutes, causing water to flow into the premises and surround it from the outside. The surrounding roads and airport parking lot turned into lakes, with the rainwater reaching high enough to submerge car tires and people’s legs up to their knees.
