According to reports, “Heavy rain fell in Ras Baalbek (Baalbek-Hermel province), in the northern Beqaa Valley, on June 2018 causing major flooding in the village and leaving at least one person dead. The flooding reportedly inundated roads, prompting traffic disruptions, caused a village-wide power outage, and destroyed several buildings.
