This has led people to conclude that Karachi and rain kinda sorta don’t gel too well.
Chill out Karachi, I don't think you can handle all this rain.

Khair, the Met Department has gone on to talk about how Karachi walay should prepare for some more heavy rainfall. In fact, flood warning bhi mil chuki hai.
Moreover, the National Disaster Management (NDMA) sent out texts warning everyone to stay safe.
I mean, it’s great that they’re looking out for us, but haye. Kitna bura haal honay wala hai?!
Karachiites have been bracing for this wave of the upcoming baarish and it seems like the anticipation is getting to people.
The warnings have started pouring in pehle se

Some people don’t think ke kuch khaas hoga
#Karachirain , all forecast for #Karachi proved misleading. So far very light rain. But that is good for ppl living here.

Here’s hoping the flood warning is just precautionary and koi serious damage na ho. Stay safe, Karachi walon.
