'I want to go home': passengers stranded by Dubai extreme floods

Passengers crowded around airline desks at Dubai International Airport on Wednesday after major delays and cancellations caused by heavy rains.
The United Arab Emirates was hit by what the government described as the highest rainfall in the past 75 years. The rains began on Monday night, and by Tuesday evening the desert city of Dubai had received the average amount of rain it normally gets in a year.
Although the heavy rains had eased by late Tuesday, disruptions were continuing on Wednesday, with Emirates airline suspending check-in for passengers departing from Dubai until midnight

🤣🤣🤣 Enjoy Dubai! Rich country with so much wealth!

🙄Dubai is a city in the UAE.

Since when was dubai a country😂😂

[@alexlock5844]

Normal day in England

[@timfly767]

That's why our country is so naturally green and beautiful. We don't have to seed clouds.

[@NaenaeGaming]

We know how to build drains here you know!

[@shan7180]

Too right

[@mikecahill3989]

Why does he rest of the world fall to pieces when it rains everyday , people n the uk just get on with things

[@Ichigoyeager.exe1]

​@@mikecahill3989cause in the UK, rain is normal, so everything is Build in consideration of that. In places like Dubai, it rarely rains, but it when do rains, it rains heavily. Since it does not rain everyday, the infrastructure is also not built to withstand that rain.

[@prakashrai6672]

Rich country like this can collect water for future

Have you not seen where Dubai is? They don't need the water supply I'm sure.

[@Thaddeus-ml8if]

Bruh you can’t drink ocean water.

@@Thaddeus-ml8if I know. Do you need educating on this?

[@NoWindNoSunNoPower]

@Thaddeus-ml8if In Dubai you can, all thanks to desalination.

[@lemakhan6444]

I was watching a documentary about UAE and all that even desalination is not enough as world's water condition is deteriorating and these countries need more for future generations

How you going home have you not seen the runways 😂 standing by a desk complaining to someone ain’t going to clear the floods 😂

[@TheMrClutchy]

It’s not rich Saudis who will suffer in these floods. It’s disgusting how people joke about a natural disaster because they don’t like the nation.

[@NaenaeGaming]

To be fair, even if the storm was natural, it’s a bit silly to not have any form of drainage in a city where the government is actively trialing cloud seeding.

[@TheJew-vc8qj]

[@TheMrClutchy]

@@NaenaeGaming they got two years worth of rain in a day mate This isn’t because of cloud seeding

[@NaenaeGaming]

@@TheMrClutchy I didn’t say it was. Read an article just before posting that comment on meteorologists confirming the storm was natural.

[@Redsunns]

What Dubai need to build is not those record breaking tall buildings and shopping centres. What they need is to build record breaking mega underground water reservoirs. Which can help against floods and unlimited fresh water.

[@Al1ce_Carr0l]

Yes it does, the weather is so much better with rain, if they didn’t cloud seed it would rain like once every 5 years

[@Joebakabasementgaming]

I dont know why people think this is cloud seeding 🤦‍♂️ cloud seeding just makes it rain for like 5-10 minutes and it stops. This storm also swept over other countries in the middle east

[@solpat1977]

Mother Nature doesn’t care how rich your country is. When she’s ready to show Mankind who is boss, she just turns on the water works😢😢😢😢😢

[@chengzi6416]

Thats why no matter where you are, you plan your city with a drainage system😁

[@parzival2077]

There is a drainage system, but this flood was soo immense that even the drainage system over flooded And it took 2 to 3 days for the city to get back on track, atleast what I now of for Abu dhabi. Also take into consideration this an event you can't prepare for, it's the desert after all, and yet the government has done astonishing work to get the city running again.
