"Disaster zone": Dubai residents grapple with aftermath of historic rainstorm

  • Emergency workers tried to clear water-clogged roads and people assessed the damage to homes and businesses on Thursday, after a rare rainstorm swamped the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
    The rains were the heaviest experienced by the Gulf state in the 75 years that records have been kept. They brought much of the country to a standstill and caused significant damage.
    Flooding trapped residents in traffic, offices and homes. Many reported leaks at their homes, while footage circulated on social media showed malls overrun with water pouring from roofs.
    While some roadways into hard-hit communities remain flooded, many groceries began to restock shelves, though fresh products still appeared in shorter supply than usual.
    "It's the worst I've ever seen it in Dubai and we've seen some bad storms in the past, but this was like nothing else. It was like an alien invasion. The sky just kept on flashing thunder non-stop," UAE resident Johnathan Richards said.
    "Everywhere is a disaster zone," he added.

    Cloud seeding- and pouring concrete over every conceivable inch of land- like something from 1970's American urban planning. Dubai- The place is a joke.

The standing water is starting to smell bad as the temperatures were hot today. The Dubai authorities just can't cope. They don't know what to do. This will take weeks to clear-up. It IS a disaster for Dubai. In a few days, this will be one hell of a stinking city.
