Dubai streets still flooded as authorities scramble to clean up

Streets remain flooded in Dubai after the heaviest rainfall in the United Arab Emirates in 75 years. The flooding caused travel chaos as Dubai airport grounded flights and closed its terminals.

As flood waters recede, some people are taking matters into their own hands using kayaks to rescue stranded residents. Up to 259.5mm (10.2in) of rain fell on the usually arid country on Tuesday, with neighbouring countries also hit by heavy rain earlier in the week. In Oman, 20 people died, including 10 schoolchildren, when their vehicle was swept away

This is where you see the importance of the brain. It's a city full of skyscrapers, but there are no water drains on the roads 😂😂

[casparAG]

people saying they didn't need to think about drains in the desert. they used cloud seeding

[valeriecherylirving]

Clearly no one seems to have understood the structure that is needed when it rains ! And the government announcing their cloud seeding operation and was proud of it ., should have been made aware of this surely?.. in not paying attention it has cost Dubai tens of millions!

The consequences of weather manipulation.

I hope people remember this man, the next time they hear someone say ‘i look after myself and my family first’, or what about ‘my country’… The strength of a persons character is how they behave when others need their help.

[hoodatdondar]

Be fair, everybody. This is not the part of the world where you think a lot about storm drains.

[ryanwaslawski]

Before attempting cloud seeding did they think to prep their desert city through massive upgrades to drainage and storm systems? Cause I doubt a place in the middle of the desert had much of that.

[annakeye]

I can't help but wonder about the Burj Khalifa and it's lack of a municipal sewage system to discharge into. I bet the place stinks right now.

Maybe an opportunity for slaves to escape was my first thought.

Praying for the affected by the flood 🙏🙏

[bobbg]

You can honestly say billionaires were under water in there car loans.

[karengregory]

Absolutely man made disaster !!! Why oh why are we messing with our weather ?!?!

[vicky_webcatuk]

How about reporting on Andrew Bridgens speech in the Commons? I think its a bit more important than whats happening abroad with the weather

[VegasGenxBox]

someone please save the religinut billionaires from having to look at average people struggling.

[vbbb]

Wow!!! The consequences on reclaiming land from water bodies

[amaneara]

At 0:34 the guy on the boat, saying there is no water!

[fyruiii]

Dubai is dealing with flooding.
Coincidentally, I have received WAY less Indian scam calls in the last few days.

[wellifthemediasaysit]

From all that 'man made' rain!
