A truck navigates through a flooded street in Jeddah December 7, 2009. After flash floods churned through the Saudi port city on the Red Sea 10 days ago, killing at least 116 people, Saudi civil defence forces are still rummaging through the debris, tallying the damage and searching for more bodies. They say the floods damaged 8,092 homes and crushed 7,143 vehicles in the worst natural disaster anyone in Jeddah can recall.
