"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.

#Floods #Dubai #UAE
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.
Check the weather for the last week, this was predicted days before and impacted the entire region from Bahrain down to Oman. Cloud seeding over the entire region? Get a living and stop talking nonesense
The sand and soil is most likely hydrophobic so water doesn't absorb like it would in other regions, it would act like concrete anyways.
dont forget slave labour.
@aetherfox4404 yes- but do not underestimate the exceedingly preposterous urban planning process- and the absurd use of poured concrete coverage. It's urban debacle 101
There is not such thing as seeding rain cloud get FKN REAL .....
The Bugatti's and Ferrari's will have trouble getting around. So sad, too bad
They paid for cloud seeding and got rain. You get what you pay for.
Nothing will make you realise. People are turning to religion and conspiracies to avoid the blatant truth. Don’t look up.
Bahrain and Oman also got rain despite not doing cloud seeding...
@autograndeunlimited it's well known that weather travels. Scientists have been warning about this for decades. They also warn that it can steal water from other regions. They also warn about Countries using this technology as a weapon. Which the USA has already done in Vietnam. Check out Operation Popeye.
The drainage system must be reorganized and rebuild then artificial rain cloud test
@@alfi_74 artificial rain 😂
You can fudge the aesthetic of a hole in the sand. But it’s still just a hole in the sand.
Thats what you get for cloud seeding, quit messing with nature
And for your info it happened from Oman to Bahrain including Qatar , UAE and parts of Saudi
What's clout seeding?
@@iStorm-my5fp a plane flys up to a cloud, with a good updraft, they start to release salt that are contained in flares, the droplets will become bigger and it will start to rain. All of this helps enhance rainfall.
With all of the high rise building and limited sewer/storm water drainage, the floodwaters in the streets would like walking in a cesspool of human waste!
Cloud seeding. Environmentalists did this.
I don’t understand the need to do this. Can you please help me understand? Thanks.
Tin foil hat alert
That is not true, maybe stop reading conspiracy theories.
It's the world health organization spraying aluminum compounds in the air with airplanes, in order to block the sun to push their climate tax narrative and lowering populations according to their agenda 2030 zionist plan@@karenacton3854
@@annemurphy8074 Seeding is real but this wasn't it, this was a natural event. They have been using the Nevada, Wyoming Mountains and Australia as tests and they have added 10% snow pack to them since the 1960's. India, UAE, USA, we all do it but none was done on the 16th according to the meteorological records. In Canada, it's often used to lessen the damage caused by hail, by getting moisture in the clouds to fall as rain or snow before it can build up into hail.
It's called "over seeding" the clouds GoebbelsNews, try doing some journalism.
Global MSM bias lame
What would be the reason or purpose for doing this? I’m just curious. Thanks.
Tin foil hat alert!!!
Check the weather for the last week, this was predicted days before and impacted the entire region from Bahrain down to Oman. Cloud seeding over the entire region? Get a living and stop talking nonesense
@@karenacton3854 it was natural rain bruh , rain is not something rare here it happens every year in winter
Same country that has to truck human waste away as they do not spend on infrastructure.
Care to show us proof of that and not footage from over a decade ago when it was still under construction? Oh right you can't. Same people that say this yet live under a rock LOL
Let this be a lesson to the people that think that cloud seeding and playing God with Mother Nature is a good idea. The citizens of Dubai should be suing the corporation that conducted the cloud seeding operations
They do it here too
Rain in the desert is wonderful for the nature.
Yeah and look it up they used cloud seeding it's not a conspiracy
Tin foil hat alert!!!!
I remember few years ago how UAE was bragging that they can CREATE RAIN ARTIFICIALLY by spraying the sky with some stuff and then zapping it with electricity from a plane. The results! lol
Don't talk without knowing. This was real rain and it happens to UAE every year. Rain is not something rare here it happens every year in winter just this time it was very intense and stromy
@@saadmahimi7537I know because UAE said so and will continue to say whatever I want.
@@catcollision8371 yea UAE did cloud seeding many times , so ? You jealous ?
But this was real rain not some fault from their system
So say what you want but don't speak crap and lies
Trudeau's latest carbon tax increase will put a stop to these occurrences!😂
I wouldn't want to be one of the people to sort out the septic tanks the hotels have in their basements.
That’s what happens when you mess with Mother Nature
The clouds were seeded by the government
Tin foil hat alert!!!!
@@philster6383 They actually did on the 14th and 15th but not on the 16th when it happened. It was a natural event but cloud seeding is a real thing, been around since the 1940's.
@@aetherfox4404 WHO IS THEY??? Your tinfoil hat can answer that
I think 100 billions worths of paper towel is nothing for UAE
I was in my house and for some reason open my window from the hotel and there’s too much lightning means mother of storms on Sharjah Street was off and it broke the road on the highway
You mean Dubai couldn't pay the storm to stop?
I live in Dubai, behind Mall of the Emirates in Al Barsha. The roads are still flooded to knee depth. Basement car parks are totally submerged. Sidewalks are collapsing into the ground. 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.
I guess they realized that the desert is not made for those chem trails.
F' around and find out
It's going to be difficult to redeem gift cards in those conditions.
hahahahah
They literally brought it upon themselves. Cloud seeding.
May Allah bring them relief! 🙏🏻❤️
Dude brought the rain, right?
Am I a bad person for not feeling any empathy with these people? Are you telling me that money can't buy better weather? Life is so unfair.
They did this to themselves. Cloud seeding. They do it here in UK too but lie about it.
They need to plant plenty lot trees and a forest. In order for those trees to suck up the rain water.
Since Dubai is a dessert place, I believe they will have some new technology to prevent this flooding next time.
does uae get flood?
Yes but not the floods like in countries like India just intense rain. But Oman does have alot of flood
OMG THIS IS AWFUL PRAYING FOR ALL OF THEM
There is nothing awful. It's just rain which was more intense thanks for your concern but nothing and nobody is affected
Our summer hasn’t started yet, UAE is build on mirage
Cloud 🌨️ seeding
Alhamdulillah, thanks be to dear God, eventually bad people started to pay for their mistakes, there is no power like the power of Allah.
Its hard to tell how much their cloud seeding program contributed to this. But clearly, it was not required in this situation. Very unfortunate for those people affected.
Affected? We enjoy it perhaps more rain wouldn't matter. Nothing is to be affected but thank you for your concern.
Sorry 😢
How will the poop trucks get around if the streets are impassable?
Start building an arc.
Cloud seeding wars
Aftetmaths of the Iran missiles fired into sky & subsequent blocking that caused disturbances in pre seeded clouds ?
Feel for the animals 😢
Act of God?
I am sure the people who worked for the Olympic game have the karma paid out for all the abused they endured by the Saudi
It’s so sad to see such a terrible disaster 😢. It seems to me OUR PLANET isn’t satisfied with the way we live:-(
This was human forced
😂😂 this is God world mess with it and you get this
sewage everywhere is gross
Poor dog. All that food and no parks to stroll.
A new oasis i tell ya.
It seems all that $$$$$$ and oil didn't save you lmao
Oh my God ,Best wishes from Canada 😅 someone write Trudeau n Carbon Tax
Poor urban planning. That's what it is.
This is all foretold in scriptures ! Matthew 24 & 25, Luke 21, & II Peter 2 & 3
DO NOT MESS WITH GOD'S PROPERTY
That's what they get for seeding clouds
There is only one God Jesus Christ and you think you can touch his creation get lost !! He's coming back get ready
Send more cash for true salvation.
@@ronbelanger4113 will see who has the last laugh my beliefs or your empty values
Man made~ nature gets mad.
Mystery of the 7 crossings of our stars milky way Jesus held in his hand, Precesson of the equinoxes. Come to Jesus if you want life & life more abundantly as his burden is light & yoke easy.
Don’t they have rain making machines ?
Yeah but this was real rain and real rain is so common happens every winter and even in spring so nothing uncommon
Cloud seeding
Allah ka azab 😢
We are not allowed to speak about ALLAH WITHOUT ILM.
Rain is from The Aayaat of ALLAH. It is a reminder to us.
الحَمدُ لله
Wrath of God....
Zeus does not agree
Allah wants to get rid of dirt on the Earth, everything goes according to HIS plans!!!
STOP BEING BIAS this is Natural Rain, All of you are just jelous Dubai because of your countries! Stop and wake up!!
So they don't lead the world in cloud seeding?
@@tomjones9082 they already said that they did not conduct Cloud seeding and if they do, they announce it and we all people living gere knows the amount of Rain from cloud seeding compared to natural rain!
Cloud seeding with artificial intelligence 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
You reap what you literally sow.
Maybe making rain not the best idea 🤦♂️
I've never understood the attraction for tourists visiting Dubai lol Its an oppressive country expensive and pointless.
Geo-engineering
GREAT!!!!!! HAARP IS WORKING!!!!!!
😂😂😂 hell yes!!!
