Dubai deluged AGAIN just weeks after floods swamped city with flights cancelled & roads impassable

TORRENTIAL rain is again battering Dubai just two weeks after severe flooding engulfed the city.

Authorities have issued an emergency public safety alert - warning residents to stay safe as storms sweep across.

On April 14 and 15, Dubai suffered its heaviest rainfall in more than 70 years, sparking what was branded "biblical" flooding.

A year's worth of rain poured in just 24 hours, with the city woefully unprepared.

An airport was left submerged underwater, roads at a standstill and homes and businesses filled up with water.

It is feared the destructive deluge could end up costing Dubai up to $1billion to clean up damage.

Oh no! How will they truck all the VIP poop out of the Burj al Arab?

[samanthamcgahan]

Mother Nature is not a fan of mere mortals ffffing around with Her design!!

[MithunOnTheNet]

A city that focuses only on its appearance above ground but didn't want to spend as much on the support infrastructure below ground.

[JoeyBlogs]

Their buildings might sink into the sand.

[louloublack]

Mother Nature's fuming, she's paying back, now shes taking back the planet 😊

[evanduckworth]

If a city deserves to collapse in the next 50 years, it’s Dubai. The Las Vegas of the Middle East 😂

[dannykonsam]

Let them see those disasters for what they've done to mother nature😠

[WiddershinsAffect]

"Why" would anyone want to visit that plastic house of cards?

[greggreg]

I’m an idiot and I would’ve engineered the city to take rain. Everybody knows the dry desert ground doesn’t absorb it when it first rains.😢

[danielwelker]

Money doesn't always include brain's 😂 should have been built with Only the best drainage. They Can afford to do things Properly.

[bigtony]

Surely the answer is use some of their oil, wealth to build sewers and reservoirs 
Maybe pump the water into the under ground wells and natural aquifers
Water in a desert is a blessing if you can keep it and store it

[hunglikeajellyfish]

If they can build islands, they can fix the waterways. Easy!

[irmamoore]

Where is Allah in al of this they are only talking about mother nature 😭🌍😭😭😭😭

[suresh]

Won’t be flying via Dubai for sure 😂😂😂😂

[Perdonatuiletrado]

On a positive note, they might get trees out of it, is not like they can t afford these minimal issues with the rain

[MazharAli-xveb]

The anger of nature is realistic and is felt round the globe but still we are crazy of the metalistic life, and development.

[ChicagoAustinDC]

Lady!!!? Dubai is not a country. Where in your Geography class?

[chrysalis]

The cloud seeding is going well then 🤣😂

[yeetkundo]

Man.. this country so rich they literally took "make it rain" to the next level

[grimx]

Car insurance companies are gonna go bankrupt with all those super cars getting flood damage
