Heavy thunderstorms have lashed the United Arab Emirates, dumping the heaviest rain ever recorded in the country in the span of hours as it flooded out portions of major highways and Dubai’s international airport. Torrential rain flooded roads, homes and malls and briefly halted operations at Dubai's airport as storms lashed the Gulf, leaving at least 18 dead in Oman. The state-run WAM news agency called the rain “a historic weather event” that surpassed “anything documented since the start of data collection in 1949.” So, what led to this torrential rainfall? Was it climate change or something else? Palki Sharma tells you.

People think that there is no God, but this shows God is in control of his creations.

All the influencers suddenly want to leave Dubai now.😂

They tried to create "artificial" rain.. Troubling the nature... Here we go...

Wettest day in Dubai is right. I can still feel the pain of my almost 5 hours walk going back home. No metro, no taxi. Major roads, tunnels and under passes are flooded. Dubai terrain mostly flat and not all major roads have built in drainage as the region sparsely receiving rains annually now they should reconsider ramping up the city drainage system.

Thats just 1 day of heavy rain. Imagine if it went on for a week. We humans are fragile

Camels in the desert are now dreaming of owning boats.

I remember them doing weather manipulation. Looks like some nasty side effects. Better to let Mother Nature be.

I also agree with the theory of cloud seeding went bad...LOL

This is what happens when you spend your money on things to make you look good, instead of actually useful infrastructure for a city.
-
Dubai will soon have a new tourist attraction - urban snorkeling.
-
My heart goes to all those "expats" who lost their valuables. I hope insurance covers this and they dont face the same helplessness as they felt during these rains..
-
Yeah few days ago I was watching videos of them boasting of cloud seeding, now Indra - the deity of clouds and rains is checking in.
-
Dubai is no exception
-
Man made RAIN...Mess with Mother Nature this is what you get...Cloud seeding is one of the DUMBIST things they have ever done...👎👎👎👎👎

Cloud seeding

Dubai has always messed with nature by flashing its money ! Changing coastlines, building islands & shifting currents, cloud seeding ! This is just a slap on the face from nature to show them some humility

Get well soon dubai ❤️❤️❤️
