Strange weather in Israel 50 mm in two hours: flood, rescues and massive traffic Jams

"Gosh Dan" is completely jammed, after 22 mm Rain fell In an hour in Tel aviv. Videos from Rishon Lezion were seen cars and motorcycles disappear under water. Wood collapsed, vehicles damaged. Negba was measured 50 mm in two hours.

Until the early afternoon it was another regular rain day. Some sprinkles, some streams flooded in the south. But in the last few hours, the day of rain has become a fearsome storm, a storm that also took at least one victim-a boy of 16 of the Bedouin diaspora that swept through a real stream. In the area of Gush Dan traffic overloads were particularly heavy, after one hour of about 22 mm rain in Tel Aviv, including a heavy hail. According to Waze, a trip from Rishon LeZion to Tel Aviv takes no less than two hours. Tell us in the Red Mile and in the response system how long it took you to travel during the storm.

After the earlier one went heavy in Dimona and in Arad and caused damages to vehicles, in the afternoon the Storm reached the center – with the damages. Large floods were caused in Tel Aviv, Rehovot, Kiryat Malachi and many other communities. Rishon LeZion was perhaps the focus. A video from the city looks like a great flood that completely eliminates a motorcycle. The Rothschild Mall in the city was completely flooded by the storm and children were extracted from a shelter hotzf at the Yadlin school in the city. Jabotinsky Street in the city was closed for movement in both directions following the road's flood.

According to the meteorological Service data, within an hour only (from 16:00 to 17:00), the Tel Aviv-22 mm rain and the nearby grain house, 16 mm. were measured 36 mm in the West Negev, 15 mm in Ashkelon and 9 mm in Jerusalem. Negba also fell 15 mm in the same time, in Be'er Sheva, 7 mm, and in Arad 5. In addition, the strong winds have caused a collapse of trees in different places. Due to the flooding of Highway 40, the south was blocked from Mitzpe Ramon Junction to Tzihor in both directions. Highway 90 was blocked from Ketura Junction to the Arava junction. In one of the Shizafon pictures, a tank that was drowned in a huge puddle was seen.

The storm also led to a sacrifice in the soul. Case Alhoashla, a 16-year-old Bedouin diaspora in the south, was swept through a real stream, drowned and died. At 15:20, a report was reported at the Mt. Negev extraction Unit for fear of his life. It swept a few hundred meters from the real National Park, adjacent to his home, a Bedouin tent of the tribe of Alawashla.

The boy was spotted inside the ravine, about three kilometers from the approximate point where he disappeared. His body was identified in one of the river's twists. The boy is extracted from the gurney to a stretcher and then turns in an Air force helicopter. His relative involved in the search found the body and called in the rescue unit. Duvi Roll, a volunteer in the Har HaNegev rescue unit, said that after the boy had been found, there was no resuscitation but to determine his death with the arrival of the medical team.

At the same time, they were evacuated from a stream near the Nokdim village in southern 37 boys and girls and six adults, after the bus they were riding was drifting. They were evacuated to Soroka hospital. Prof. David Greenberg, chairman of the Pediatrics department at Soroka, said that "all the evacuees had a medical assessment, all in a light condition." Some of them suffer from anxiety, and some are light bruises in the extremities. They are treated by pediatricians, orthopedic and surgeons according to their condition and accompanied by social workers.
