    I just came back the weather wasn’t that bad before about 12:30 i think… but we couldn’t get into the square: it was blocked by the army from alleys and the back roads, while the main roads had huge pools of rain water that forced us to detour… what i found to be the most remarkable was the nab3a highway that goes to hazmiyeh: it was turned into a huge parkings lot full of buses most of which were LF. the LF presence was astonishing. bravo!
