Severe flash floods triggered by heavy rainfall have caused significant destruction in Oman, resulting in the deaths of at least 19 people, including 12 children. The floods have swept away vehicles, including a school bus carrying children, and three people, including a child, are still missing. In response to the crisis, schools in Oman have transitioned to online classes. Meanwhile, the United Arab Emirates, including Dubai, has also experienced unusual heavy rainfall, leading to widespread flooding, major disruptions in transportation, and the cancellation of the TOKEN2049 conference. The Dubai International Airport recorded over 120 mm of rain, significantly disrupting flights and leaving major highways submerged. The Oman Met Department predicts further heavy rainfall.

Half of crypto industry flew to Dubai for @token2049 we have: 1. One of the most serious escalation between Israel and Iran in decades 2. One of the heaviest rainfall in Dubai in decades that makes commuting almost impossible. We either live in a simulation or it's a sign.
One of the biggest shit shows Iโve experienced. Stuck at the mall. Flooding, roofs collapsing and water coming in. Walked from Burj all the way home in knee deep water No cars were available Hotel elevators broken. For a city that controls the rain, it sure canโt handle it.
