Beirut, Lebanon, October 22, 2008--Lebanese men pull their belongings from floodwaters outside their home.

A heavy rainstorm in the capital flooded streets and houses and brought traffic to a standstill, according to the Lebanese news agency Naharnet.

An investigation is underway to see whether negligent building practices contributed to the widespread damage, the agency reported.
