Moral: Don't wish for floods if you live in a desert. No matter how much money you have.

Goes to show how vulnerable Dubai Authorities are and there were no back up plans ?

It's literally impossible to predict Natural disasters

[@calono]

That’s because they don’t have hills

[@mtahir9999]

The operations must have stopped or limited prior to the storm as predicted earlier, then the 1000's of stranded passengers would hv not suffered and avoided airline costs, hope someone learn out of this lesson learnt!

They should have built rivers

[@TonmoyKabiraj]

That’s what happens when you try to control nature. Like the did by cloud seeding.

Omen?
