A powerful thunderstorm struck Tangier Wednesday night, causing severe flooding across several districts.
Torrential rain quickly formed puddles on the streets, and multiple neighborhoods were submerged, as residents watched helplessly while vehicles struggled through the rising waters.
Areas like Mesnana, Beni Makada, Al Aouama, Souani, and Tanja Balia were particularly affected, with sewage systems overwhelmed by the heavy rainfall.
Local rivers such as Oued Souani and Mghogha also overflowed, further exacerbating the situation.
The storm caused traffic disruptions and halted maritime operations in the Strait of Gibraltar due to high winds
The General Directorate of Meteorology (DGM) had issued an orange-level weather alert earlier in the day, predicting intense thunderstorms and rainfall between 20-35 mm for the region, including Tangier.
Authorities in Tangier continue to assess damage and manage ongoing weather-related challenges.
