Avoid at all costs! Extreme flooding in Ta’ Xbiex threatens to sweep cars away
Mother Nature ain’t playing, y’all!

We might have really pissed Mother Nature off because she really isn’t having it today! The Met Office released a warning of thundery and gusty storms earlier today and boy were they right!

These photos show Ta’ Xbiex earlier today when the gates of heaven poured quite the shower on our islands, and as we know, when it rains in Malta it not only pours, it frickin’ FLOODS.

How these guys managed to drive through such deep waters is beyond me. While my 20-year-old Nissan Micra is a #hadida, she'd never manage to get through all that. And honestly, if your car did, it’s kinda out of this world.

Drive safe, kids!
