On Thursday, a severe rain and thunderstorm hit Saudi Arabia's Mecca, flooding the holy city's streets.
Earlier this week, the kingdom's General Authority of Meteorology and Environmental Protection warned the region's residents about the unstable weather conditions.
In a post uploaded to Twitter late on Thursday, the authority's officials said they expect the rain to continue until late Friday.
Photos and videos capturing the hail and lightening hitting the city are now all over Saudi social media, as many stream the storm as it happens.
