Have you guys seen the flooding in Dubai? It's out of control over there.
An entire year's worth of rain in a single storm.
Heavy rains lashed the United Arab Emirates on Tuesday, flooding portions of major highways, leaving vehicles abandoned on roadways across Dubai and grinding traffic at the city-state's huge international airport briefly to a complete halt ...
The rains began overnight, leaving massive ponds on normally parched streets and airport tarmacs as whipping winds contributed to flight disruptions at Dubai International Airport, the world's busiest for international travel and the home of the long-haul carrier Emirates …
By the evening, more than 4.75 inches of rainfall had soaked the UAE — the typical average for an entire year in the desert nation — with more expected in the coming hours.
From the Dubai Airport:
The storm ravaged other areas in the region as well.
Rain also fell in Bahrain, Qatar and Saudi Arabia.
In neighboring Oman, a sultanate that rests on the eastern edge of the Arabian Peninsula, at least 18 people had been killed in heavy rains in recent days, according to a Tuesday statement from the country's National Committee for Emergency Management. That includes about 10 schoolchildren who were swept away Monday in a vehicle along with an adult.

Aaaaaaaand, climate alarmism from the corporate media in 3, 2, 1:
Climatologists have warned for years that human-driven climate change is fueling more extreme and less predictable weather events across the globe.
Call me The Akshully Guy, because actually it was human-driven. Check this out.
The heavy rains that caused widespread flooding across the desert nation stemmed partly from cloud seeding. The UAE started cloud seeding operations in 2002 to address water security issues, even though the lack of drainage in many areas can trigger flooding.
The Gulf state's National Center of Meteorology dispatched seeding planes from Al Ain airport on Monday and Tuesday to take advantage of convective cloud formations, according to Ahmed Habib, a specialist meteorologist. That technique involves implanting chemicals and tiny particles — often natural salts such as potassium chloride — into the atmosphere to coax more rain from clouds.
Ladies and gentlemen, man-made climate change.
