It underscores the importance of investing in robust infrastructure to withstand extreme weather, ensuring continuity in operations and safety for all.
Your right, but even the most robust preventive infrastructural measures can often be overwhelmed during unprecedented extreme conditions. The floods in New Orleans and the Netherlands are prime examples
@@Readyplayer8 that's right, we learn, innovate and move forward.🙌
No chance- all that infrastructure will add dramatically to the issues faced. That’s King Canute madness but if it keeps you in work then happy days on the Titanic deck arranging those chairs
Or maybe don't launch salt and other chemicals into a low pressure system. Dumbass
@Readyplayer8 this is man made
They launched salt and chemicals into a low pressure system. It'd called cloud seeding. This isn't a natural disaster or global warming. This was done by man which clearly just proved they don't know what they're doing
Rain in the desert and no rains in the forests...we ruined.
Yup, this world is completely done for.
Yup, this world is completely done for.
Cloud seeding guys
@@andyacosta9847 cloud seeding is never this severe, its a tropical depression weather event
@@noorlita offcourse 2 year of rain in 24 hours not possible by cloud Seeding
All that money and nobody thought drainage systems?
I heard they conducted cloud seeding maybe it was not controlled.
They didn't think about that
The arrogance of the bureaucrats and the ignorance of the corporations have blinded them to the enlightenment of righteousness.
In 2022, April, Northern Rivers, Australia. Flooding of record proportions occurred in Byron bay NSW, three days before I was warned by God to depart. Glory to God and the Lamb 🙏💖😁 I obeyed. I told the few that would listen. Peoples of the Earth! Repent and return to God!!!
😂 well said
Facts
The multi-million dollar question: were they seeding clouds?
Must have been seeding them where I am for it's rained non stop for months. The UFO's I've spotted are up to something.
Yes and I'm scared that most mainstream news aren't even mentioning this.
@@cenzala22 that's their job to NOT mention it
@@cenzala22 no, what happened is they built a city with a woefully undersized sewer system, and when it rains all the architecture traps the water in the city. This happened in Manhattan and Bronx last winter too. Amtrak passengers (including myself) had their trips canceled because the railroad was underwater.
Whether or not the clouds are being seeded it makes sense to address flooding like this by expanding and improving infrastructure.
1000% YES
Dubai have been experimenting with artificial rain 😂😂😂 that's what happens when you play God 😂😂😂😂😂
Facts brotha
dumbass lol
Exactly. I don't see any news outlets mentioning this lol
Cloud Seeding has side effects apparently
@@spookyboi317You wouldn't with your eyes closed. The Dubai gov't has been bragging about cloud seeding for the past month.
It’s a Desert🌵 🐪 , the rains when they do come, are torrential downpours.
What flavor dessert?
Sources are saying it’s due to cloud seeding by United emirates
They were cloud seeding. Who knows what they fucked up
Just like SoCal
With that infrastructure, they definitely needed to incorporate a good drainage system..
This is called Artificial Rain. This is what happens when you play Mother Nature, you destroy yourself.
@Ajesh-dm4ln hahaha the almighty China trying to drown you guys hahaha
Jesus Christ died for your sins on the cross. Repent and believe in him or you will be separated from God The Father for all eternity and face hell forever, for all eternity, never ending.
@@treek10k cant be separated from something inexistant so hey keep your bs preaching for your kind
@Ajesh-dm4ln funny how they delete comment scratching the truth.... almighty HAARP and oh cant say the C country
It's real rain. I don't think you understand what "artificial rain" is.
Weren't they messing with the weather? I remember a story about Arab nations seeding clouds to wet the desserts. Hope this isn't a consequence of that.
The moment humans started using fossil fuel in 1800s, we've been messing with the weather and climate.
They’ve been messing with the weather since they found out how everything worked.
Read the ipcc report n you will see reason for it.
@@user-kn6vw4sr2rexcept in Dubai they actually seed the clouds to make it rain.
Every country cloud seed's / Chem trails
Build all those magnificent buildings but forget to add water drainage to the blueprint 😢
Yeah, I’m sure they forgot 🤦♂️
So whenever any big city is usa get flooded that means they don't have drainage system? Wtf
I see your point, but even the most sophisticated drainage systems have capacity limitations and can be overwhelmed during unprecedented conditions as shown.
Well it is desert this is a man made disaster
I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt and assume
that they thought that they didn't need Drainage Systems because they're in a desert and they thought that maybe if it did Flood, the water would evaporate really quickly because they live in the deser. Therefore, eliminating drains.
Where was the genius in building that city 🤦🏼♂️
They are waiting for you to design flood control measures because you are the genius!!!Lol!!
are you stupid? this is a once in a century storm...
Maybe he didn't know about Operation Popeye
It has nothing to do with infrastructure. They make artificial rain clouds. Their scientists really dropped the ball on this one 😅
Anyone see a guy building a big boat?
No. But I did see someone building a really big Tower of Babel to escape the flood waters 🌊
@@oscarlumberg8865 😭😭oop
Hilarious, Noah is nowhere to be seen in Dubai!
nope but there’s a BIIIIIGG whale 🤌🏻
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thinking of those planned for holidays in Dubai 😂
cloud seeding gone wrong
Cloud seeding.
Moron.
Yeah they seed the sky 2 times a week to help with the greenery in palm trees... But they're not used to rain like this that's why everything's flooding there's no gutters or drainage sewer systems
Yes, but the reporters do not talk or investigate about this.
@@franky19772003 Why waste their time on immature conspiracy theorists 🤷♂️
It was definitely cloud seeding, a bunch of billionaires sat down and decided to wreck their own city. 🤦♂️
What is with you tiny brained people? Scientists have been warning us that weather will become more extreme, and we continue to burn fossil fuel. This flood was no surprise, half the plan has had record breaking floods.
Nah who I’m I kidding, cloud seeding it was 🤦♂️
It’s amazing how clean & clear the flood water is
This seems scary
Happens every year in all the 12 years I lived there
only scary if you are one of the workers there that live on the ground level.
It's only going to get scarier. Enjoy your life because it's going to get ugly very soon.
I've been to Dubai once. It looks like the moon outside the city. Dry as a bone. Large summer heat and only about 5 inches/127 mm of rain per year. Being a desert, the ground is probably hard as a rock. When it rains in wetter regions of the world, the water usually soaks into the ground. Here, a huge deluge will just slosh around, even if they had a better artificial drainage system. I doubt cloud seeding had much to do with it. That's marginally effective and wouldn't cause widespread flooding. As far as better drainage, that would negate the effect even if cloud seeding did this. If you look at flood control infrastructure in areas like Los Angeles, maybe some of the water gets channeled to groundwater where they can, but most of the water just flows out into the ocean.
Hopefully they will recover soon. I am anxious to see what engineering and infrastructure solutions they come up with to prevent this from happening again.
Dubai makes its own rain
Any worse and Dubai could become a legend like Atlantis in a thousand years.
As someone who also lives in the desert this is normal
Gentlemen, welcome to Dubai.
See this building... it was impacted. 😵💫
My dad just arrived home during these floods
There are over 100 'weather modification' companies in the world.
and thats not counting the illegal ones or the crazy lonely savant
With sea level rising, Dubai is in serious trouble. Where is all the massive waste from sewage going
Probably into the surrounding bodies of water
Lmao, when your cloud seeding goes a little too well….
Look when someone spends too much time on conspiracy sites 👆
@@Rac-fpv
@@Rac-fpv
It’s not a conspiracy bro, they openly spray into the sky to help clouds rain.
Just like how the world isn’t flat, it’s round, Look it up🤣
@Rac-fpv lol its not a conspiracy, they openly cloud seed. Do some research...
@@Rac-fpv if they did not seed themselves then it means they were attacked....
3in... in florida thats a tuesday, but its crazy how the ground cant hold water.
We prayed for Dubai and all the people.
That would be so fun. Imagine swimming through Dubai
Cloud seeding # Weather modifications gone dramatically wrong .😂😂😂
Wow only 100mm of Rain and this happens! Sydney received 250mm a couple of weeks backs and no dramas at all.
....building a house on sand, where did I hear something 🤔 like that before
They did it to themselves is the crazy part.mother nature doesnt like cloud seeding.
I live here in Central Mexico where rain is common, but this year there has been little to none.
Interesting how nature works
Climate collapse, it's gonna get worse
Dubai knew how to invest vertically... Continue building UP but just don't know how to built DOWN (drainage).
Did the reporter say "amazing flooding conditions?😮
I thought Dubai was full of the wealthiest people, how could they not have come up with a solution for this before this even happened?
If you see ceilings falling down in a mall due to water damage...why would you even go on the 2nd floor let alone stay in the building
I was in that position in dubia. Its like being trapped in hotel for 2 weekss straight
Who ever said a flat Earth was silly was from around the way 😂
Soo level no drainage
Get the Gucci buckets
Prayers
the earth fighting back, they sold the oil, raised the temperature, now this, good haha, lol
Are you joking 🙃 🙃 🤣?
@@wilmotclarke-ff1nb NOPE NOT AT ALL
we need fresh water, we need to do more of this!
No they literally seed the clouds in Dubai to make it rain.
So...A) don't Steward the oil and wait for an earthquake to crack the reservoir and create an uncontainable environmental disaster...or B) mutual benefit to people and environment by sustainable extraction of environment hazard and relieving pressure point...because a lake contained underground is basically a pressurized container...
But like saying the world is overpopulated so we need to reduce it
..when our species is currently contained to one planet in a solar system with uninhabited planetary bodies...😅 humans are weird when it comes to logic...
Dubai Weather Machine Fritzed Out.
Nope, it was your tiny little brain.
Oops 😬 was I supposed to drop the whole seed bag ?
I was Actually here when it happend and we saw sunken cars almost completely underwater + Trees smaller Buildings were torn and Planes Barely could Take off since the whole air port was Filled.
And Yes My familly had to Drive through the Flood luckily with a big Car…
Dubai is challenging to nature🎉
Love it
Happens.
A documentary team went to the Simpson desert, the 100 year flood hit and it was a giant lake. Good doco, but we saw the rare side not the normal.
Dubai be making tall buildings and not a good rain system LIKE COME ON DUBAI
With all boasting with money, no drainage systems...They have rethink about new drainage infrastructure
Dubai will be a rainforest in no time
God bless America
How much rain did they get over what proof of time to cause this massive flooding??
it is indeed unusual in Dubai !!!
Imagine where this rain would go if it was not for cloud seeding. Many life forms would suffer because they can not get their rainwater.
BMA
Do more of cloud seeding & interfere with the nature!!!
More rain better than no rain
THE LINE project have several benefits when we compare to the dubai infrastructure. No car, No road, no carbon emision, and totaly green in the area where they are living. What do you think?
So that's why I haven't been getting scam calls all day... good to know
Lookin a bit flooded 👀
Rain in the desert. Heatwave in the tropics.
Thats what you get when you try to make your own weather in the desert!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
They didnt need to create clouds to get rain! 😂
Come to Dubai habibi!
Its surprising that they dont have some type of rain stopping device.
Like a basic sewage system maybe?
What about drainage systems
What drainage systems in the desert are set up for a year’s worth of rain in one night?
Did you put a lot of thought into your comment?
BMA
What about Desert 🏜️🏝️
@@Rac-fpvit happens every 3 to 4 years mate , they should have built adequate drainage system by now instead of useless billion dollars vanity projects that go nowhere.
She has a lovely accent
I’m surprised Dubai doesn’t have flying cars
May Allah almighty bless this nation..Amee n
Yes they got water now...they just need Paul Moadib Artredis to turn it green 💚🍏🤣🤣🤣
I swear, I watched on the news that in the UAE they were testing out man made rain. Did that trigger these torrential rainfall or is it just global warming?
I m happy to hear because sudan and yamen libiya we don remember
Mother nature: oh so you guys don't like the way my rain tastes huh? I see I see how it is. Wait till I talk to ya father about this. *dumps 20 years of rain onto Dubai*
Jetboat cars is must now in dubai ...
For many years the Emaratis are using clouds burst technology for artificial rain.
There are several vdos of it in Arabic also where seeding is used for heavy rain. Although there is some greenery that doesn't mean it will attract so much rain equivalent to 3 years rain in 2hours.
Playing with water and fire will take huge toll on all living things ,
very dangerous, not required at all.
The whole verse in Surah Ar Rahman is 78 verses and of that number, 31 repeated verses mean the favour of the Lord we all denied or can we say as the favour of the Lord we have forgotten.
Typical of Americans to look at it in terms of financial matters. Who gives a damn what that building is and how many hedge funds it holds - disgusting considering people have died in these floods.
Learn to swim
Dont think you fully understand the comment..
@@idfkidc there really are some idiots around on YT....hardly surprising.
@@Platerpus7 yeah because that really helps when you get swept away inside a vehicle. Well done Einstein.
All those tall ass buildings built on sand and its flooding that sounds bad
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
maybe one day the C4 or what - the thing they do to change the earth climate - in Snowpiercer - will actually happen😢
Nature always win s
God is punishing UAE for sure!
No need for desalinating that water!
So no interest in anyone who earns Jack shit great news item. Can’t imagine a single hedge fund bothered by this event
Exactly, they can take a few weeks off.
Why no rain like this in Russia ?
And people believe desert never had water or that the globes water didnt changes places as many times as we could ever imagine
Cloud seeding 1000% Dubai DOES NOT get rain like that at all without cloud seeding.
This is extremely saddening to see people going through this suffering and trouble third time in a row just with in a year.
It's a lame excuse by saying we didn't perceive the need for drainage system as it never rained like that. Dubai is a fairly new constructed city as compared to other cities of the world. One can't over rule the unpredictable high amount of rain ever and secondly and most importantly it sits on the edge of a sea. Would someone not understand the importance of plantation as well as drainage system how to plan a city if there's a tsunami, a cyclone, flooding. Couldn't they picture a worst case senario before planning the millions of old and new constructions that they have been doing like anything with the world's most amazing construction experts that they hire.
no flood truck ?
Интересно,какая влажность в городе, вода + жара
Venice now.
rain in a desert
🐪 🏜️ 🌵 ???
Once a companion of Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (pbuh) asked to Prophet,
Ohh Prophet! When the Judgement day will come?
The Prophet (pbuh) said: ''The judgement day (The end of the Earth) will not come until this lands (the desert of Arab peninsula) become greenery again''.
[The full reference is here, Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “The Hour will not be established until wealth is so abundant and overflowing that a man will go out with his wealth to give alms but not find anyone who accepts it from him, and until rivers and meadows return to the land of Arabia.”
Source: The book of Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 157].
And, interesting fact is that, scientists also are saying that, million years ago, this desert was actually full of trees and greenery. But, over the period of time, it turned into dry weather and the present form of desert. It is also another sign of true prophecy by Hazrat Muhammad (pbuh).
Anyways, I am pretty sure that, not only UAE people but also all countries of Arab peninsula are being surprised to see this dramatic climate changes, such as with heavy rainfall and floods which they never experienced before, nor their ancestors too.
They seed the clouds in Dubai to make it rain. Just look it up
🏝️🏜️
Habibi come to Dubai
Imagine if it rains 2 months which is normal from time to time
That's what you get for cloud seeding. Never tamper with natural cycle of nature. God has a purpose for everything
You cannot can’t create water from a clear sky. In order for cloud seeding to actually work, particles must be shot into existing clouds that already holds moisture to get it to fall, or to fall more than it otherwise would naturally. You would literally need to have the entire area of UAE covered in clouds that already have moisture in them to produce droplets heavy enough to fall to earth. Even if this was the case, this scenario that i have just pointed out would produce 5, maybe 10% more rain. Cloud seeding is immediate and up to 30 minutes so you would need literally hundreds of planes over the UAE sky seeding clouds all at the same time to get even a fraction of what actually fell from this extremely intense tropical rain storm. There are bigger issues in this world to worry about then strange conspiracies created for likes. Have a nice day
O, what a tangled web we weave 😉
wonder if the cloud seeding is back firing lol! remember when they were doing that leading up to the Qatar World Cup?
Quicksand?
