Severe weather conditions in the United Arab Emirates, particularly in Dubai, have led to significant disruptions. Heavy rains on Tuesday caused widespread flooding, transforming major highways into impassable waterways and leading to numerous vehicles being abandoned. The adverse weather also resulted in the temporary closure of Dubai International Airport, with dozens of flights, both inbound and outbound, being cancelled. The flooding extended to local streets and affected residential areas, with reports of people trapped in cars and power outages in some accommodations.
Dubai is insane. People trapped in cars stuck in 2 feet of water. Just had to wade through feet of water to get to dry ground. AirBnbs without electricity. People unable to get to their hotels because the streets are flooded and the highway ramps are flooded.
