    they need to invest in proper drainage and not skyscrapers.

    The Universe has delivered a form of justice for Dubai's unfeather greed, human rights injustices, and their over self confidence.
  • Prayers for all people and animals affected!😢🙌👐💔🐈🐅🐾🐾

    Ironically they built beautiful sky scrapper but forgot to built infrastructure for water drainage :) 😀

    I think those people who make it rain in Dubai add to much in the Cloud Seeding 🌦 🌧 ☁️

    The country is prepared to take their annual average with ease. I have been here for the past 20 years and have seen my fair share of rain and storms. I am sorry to say but no country would be able to absorb the amount of water (and wind) that came down yesterday. It was 1,5 times more than the annual average.
  • The great Mother Earth punished them for their arrogance, greed and their delusions of grandeur !!

    I'm no newbie to Dubai. I've been here since 2007. I've never seen anything like this. Underpasses and underground car parks totally submerged. Pavements collapsing into the ground, opening-up sink-holes. And there's nowhere for the water to drain-off to. The flood water is not going anywhere and it's starting to smell bad.

    It's actually not that much rain they just don't have the proper drainage.
