Dubai's 'apocalyptic' floods cause $1bn of damage in a DAY after worst storm for 75 years
THE destructive deluge that engulfed Dubai on Tuesday could end up costing the glitzy city $1billion to clean up after the "apocalyptic" floods.
The torrential downpours left airports submerged underwater, roads at a standstill and homes and businesses filled up with water as the cost of the damages begin to ramp up.

Yeah, more like by humans interfering with nature. Too much seeding.
Dubai has a new record, the largest sewage on the planet.
Mother Nature's way of telling em that she doesn't like concrete and they *ucked up.
True.. but Dubai doesn't have a drainage system because the sand would block it. That didn't help either
It's not mother nature, they have been cloud seeding, a "conspiracy theory" a couple years ago.
Thank you 100%

Cloud seeding cannot cause this, but bad planning and maintenance will.

Actually it was because of cloud seeding. And the government admitted it.

@vagabond4life Made yourself look like a right idiot lol, they did not admit that at all.
They owe the foreign workers who built their city a few years ago billions. They will need them back to do the clean up, such workers should demand payment up front.
You are talking as if those workers worked for free..... Natural disasters can happen anywhere in world not only in Dubai...😮😮😮😮
even they do not respect labors . no holidays no welfare in place. working 50 degree and due to cloud seeding now it could goes beyond 60 degree during summer. no water for animals . cats and birds outside too.
those workers are still mostly there. They can't leave.

Yep, the Burj Khalifa has trucks that take away 15 tonnes a day of sewage 🤷🏾♂️
@@TayWoode apparently that is a hoax. Some years ago, some places did have sewerage trucks but the Burj Khalifa has been connected to the sewerage system since day one.

@Rubalix I think he meant drainage system 😅 Which is true they don't have one because of the sand. It would block it immediately.
@@lucapuzzoli8363some areas have no sewage system which combined with floods it's messy.

We don't need sewage system. We are a clean people and anyway it rains a lot in western countries so water is a blessing from Allah.
To everyone saying drainage system is too expensive so they use special tank vehicles. THIS IS DUBAI. They got ski resort in the mall. It's about priorities, not money. They organized EXPO. Paid the elite architects to show how SMART they are. They totally lost their own game.
Absolutely!!! Its all a show.
One year of rain in 24hrs
And less than 24hrs previously, 7 rain producing cloud seeding planes took to the sky over Dubai. But The Sun doesn’t think it’s worth mentioning. 😂
Luckly they don't get much rain in one year.
Oh!!
It only ran 2 or 3 days in a year there, little rain causes small floddin there because there are no drainages system, even canals on the streets.
MOTHER 👩 NATURE LAUGHING OUT LOUD.. 😃 😅😂 OMG
I have seen on other videos that Dubai plays chemically with the clouds above the country to create rain. Maybe that play went completely wrong this time.

Dubai property prices must be worth less now. They concreted over desert sand without storm drains while cloud seeding with technology usa sold them
Those were natural supercells, not cloud seeding. Problem is lack of infrastructure and preparation for such a rare event.

It's time to spend a few billion $$ to construct an adequate drainage system and a canal to the nearest natural body of water.
with the city already this size, you cant spend just mere "few" billions $$ to construct drainage... it is more like dozens and dozens of billions of $$😂.
No they invest in Islamic ideology all over the world trust me ..The poison .. From Albania
The nearest body of water is the sea and it's at the same level as the land so u see the problem with that
@@thedoctor649Situated near sea level, at 16 meters above, a network of canals and drainage systems could be feasible. However, the current cost would be exorbitant, as it would necessitate the demolition of some existing roads and buildings. Typically, canals and drainage systems are integrated into the initial city planning, rather than after a city has been established.
It's too close to sea level for naturally draining flood canals. Most of these Gulf cities are built on intertidal flats. A more effective (and more characteristic for these insanely rich oil states) method might be a storm drain network that dumps into massive underground cisterns farther inland, which they can draw from later for water in the summer.
Mother Nature is coming for them…
Mother nature is coming for everyone, especially you. Tick tock..
How wonderful - they get to use those famous Rolls Royce umbrellas.

Doesn't matter when huge parts of the UK were flooded ? But a foreign country FFS
Bloody foreigners
When i was in Saudi, Libya Dubai UAE during 80's, 90's & 20's, i never experienced such floods, everything was pleasant during my work/stay on those countries. But now it's horrible things happened nowadays. Well technology of a man can change everything. Today, man can make an artificial storms, rains, earthquakes, tornadoes and etc.

What gets me is tgat with all that money, they had no indication that this unusual heavy storm was on it's way. Where were the weather men....... asleep I suppose.
Dubai's Burj Khalifa doesn't have a sewage system - so trucks pump out human waste every day. The Burj Khalifa is the tallest building in the world and cost $130 billion to make but it is not connected to Dubai's sewage system and so every day a platoon of trucks queue up to remove its human waste, they thought that it was cheaper then building a sewage connector line. The plan was to finally connect it to their sewer/storm drainage system next year in 2025. The tanker trucks in the video are the sewer trucks draining the flood waters.
Now they know what the UK goes through every week.
All those ferraris, rollers and lamboughinis under water. My heart bleeds.....😂
Nature will react. Building land in sea and sea in land!!!
They did build the tallest building in the world and then needed hundreds of tankers every day to take away the sewerage, so drainage and waste disposal is not high on their list of priorities.
That's because they are a clean people.
It should be now, but I'll bet it won't be.
There's a sewer system they've been building out for like the last 15 years which is nearly complete. It doesn't double as a storm drain though.
WEATHER ALTERING CHEMICALS WERE USED
It’s almost as if spraying loads of chemicals into clouds 🌧️ to generate rainfall had negative effects lmao 😂
South Louisiana native here, and a hurricane specialist and flood specialist. I want to take a moment to ask a question that I even ask people here that recieves weather reports....where in hell are people going in these cars??? We have a long lived motto that goes like this, "I'm going outside in that sh!+"...
The loss seems way more than few billions dollars.
Mother Nature showing her strength and unpredictability, men! Her power runs deeper than your pockets!
Should not have played around with cloud seeding. Plus they need to build proper street drainage and more green spaces.
when the water levels' rise...it will seep from the bottom. floating hi-rises!
This country is not prepared for disasters like this. Their roads do not have drains so water easily overflows the streets.
What can you do everything in Dubai is ARTIFICIAL!
Build drainage system and dams. Save the water dont waste it.
Flooding is bad because there's no place to put a dam. A drainage system would have to flow inland away from the coast, probably to gigantic underground cisterns.
Maybe they should pray six times a day?
Water is better than nuclear bomb😅 thank goodness not US human destruction
Maybe you should get counseling
@@BBAKER22 yep, definitely needs help.
No proper drainage
Hahaha
1 billion for MBS nothing Praying for speedy recovery from this mess
Problem for Arabia is that originally there was normal top soil and hills. Over millions of years that was washed away. The land level is almost same as sea level. Concrete city means land drainage is non existent. The minor drainage system could not cope, so overflowed. The work to fix this with new drains and pumps is costly, and there will be more regular monsoon rains. So many billions need to be spent.
The greatest insult you can give someone: 'You seem like the sort of person who goes on vacation to Dubai'
They havent any sewage system in Dubai
It's why they don't eat pigs
Why not build an infrastructure to protect from rain, and other disasters. Concrete buildings don't look good. Sewage protectors, vents to drain water. Barriers to protect water from flooding the cities. Millionaires didn't think about infrastructure, just building luxury buildjngs!
The new Venice.
All the glitz and gadgets but no sewage system.
Oh heck they can afford it a million times a billion dollars 😂
you can print the money, but you still have to do the work and come up with the material

Venice, UAE
drainage needs to be resolved
does drainage in the UK , Europe and US stop the flooding? I have seen flooding in all of those locations. We had up to 13 inches of rain in less than 18 hours in some areas of the UAE. Drains were not going to stop that from flooding in some areas.
May the People of Dubai take care under these serious conditions. God Bless. ❤

Sin City got a sin flood.
Que catástrofe!!!!!!Tomara consigam logo voltar a normalidade !!!!!❤
Water is given, trees will come
Besides physical flood control, Dubai government could also improve their public communication skills. Like temporary signs on the ground would help a lot, instead of figuring out the detours published through inaccurate mapless postings on its social media accounts.
Probably a sign to sort their affairs?
ONLY ONE BILLION???
it may be much more. in my community alone there were dozens of cars and trucks swept away / flooded and apartments also taken with water.
From the desert to the sea
Same happened in Kuwait, November, 1997. Unbelievable amount of rain fell in a few hours, over-powered the drainage system, knocked out power system. Didn't take long for them to recover.
God didnt say if it would be sand or water burying a people in near Oman ..in a desert.

They can build cities in the middle of Persian Gulf, but can’t build a simple drainage system?🤦♂️🤷♂️
And it rained for forty nights and forty days.......
Was it cloud seeding?
In a way, this time they used drones to send an electric charge into the clouds to make it rain
No uae denied the cloud seeding as cause for this flood
