There have been some deaths associated with driving in the storms , so don't be a Chutzpan when it comes to safety comrades!





Update 6:35 PM (IST) 8-1-13: We had a power outage in northern Tel Aviv that lasted around 10 minutes. My Shiksa continues to play words with friends. There seem to be some power outages throughout the country.
