Heavy thunderstorms have lashed the United Arab Emirates (UAE), dumping more than a year and a half’s rain on the desert city-state of Dubai in just a few hours and flooding major highways and its international airport.

The rains began late on Monday, soaking the sands and roads of Dubai with some 20mm (0.79 inches) of rain, according to meteorological data collected at Dubai International Airport. The storms intensified at about 9am (05:00 GMT) on Tuesday and continued throughout the day, dumping more rain and hail onto the overwhelmed city.

3 inches of rain cause this much damage? Big oof as a person from Sesttle. Maybe build waste water infustructure instead of bullshit vanity projects.

Not that they wouldn't have the funds for it, but building rain infrastructure in Dubaï is pretty much useless. There is simply no water there. Up until now (we'll see where climate change takes them) it was a literal waste of money to build Rian infrastructure there.

It seems like a pretty normal idea to first have a plan on how you will deal with all the rain you generate, before you send geo engineering drones into the sky to make rain. Idk though, maybe I'm the weirdo for thinking that planning ahead and being prepared are good ideas.

Then again planning and good ideas doesn't sound like the type of thing that's happening in poop truck city.

Sow the rain, reap the thunderstorm.
