BBC News: Flash floods in Egypt

Heavy rains and flash floods have left seven people dead in Egypt and Israel.

Rains washed away mud brick houses in southern Egypt killing two women, and in Israel a woman drowned when her car was caught in a flash flood.

And how much of this weather did we get in Cairo? About 5 minutes of drizzle. It's not fair, if any place needs a hosing down it's this place.

When you click it, Readability eliminates everything from the Web page you’re reading except the text and photos. No ads, blinking, links, banners, promos or anything else. Times Square just goes away.

You wind up with a simple, magazine-like layout, presented in a beautiful font and size (your choice) against a white or off-white background with none of this red-text-against-black business.
