I wonder if someone over there has guts enough to say Allah is mad at them?
Awesome timing!!! FWIW I think the heavy rain did it in when it softened the ground beneath it. The lighting was a prelude of what was to come 🙂 Weather wins again!
Or deus ex machina, whichever way you want to look at it 🙂 Id like to think its the latter in this day and age.
Could be both.
