According to Doha News, heavy downpours across Doha have caused two popular malls in Qatar to leak, and another to shut down completely.
Many people on social media posted videos and photos on the hashtags #QatarRain and #أمطار_قطر, with some questioning how a relatively small amount of rain, the first of the winter, could cause such problems?!
