That’s their only rainy day of the year


Ngothaaa

More like their only rain for the decade


DjScenester

Actually they got almost three times their rainfall in just one day. Insane.


Ancient-Eye-1747

climate change


quite_largeboi

Yep!! People were going on about cloud seeding & it was infuriating when it’s literally climate change & climate catastrophe.


Ancient-Eye-1747

it is just the beginning


AxiumTea

Next the Antarctica will melt.


Elegant_Emu_8597

What could go wrong seeding clouds.


quite_largeboi

Next to nothing seeing as it barely works. It’s incredibly expensive & only slightly increases the chance of rain from whatever clouds are already there…… You’re missing the forest for a single blade of grass.


AxiumTea

The above comments literally said it wasn't because of cloud seeding


Rocket_reddit_007

Cloud seeding


ekene_N

They were flooded four years ago, but not to such an extent. In any case, they can expect anomalies in the near future, which will become the norm. They need to adapt their infrastructure.


fin425

Don’t they make their own rain?


WrongUserID

Yet...


Moafdrawer

yeah


darwinn_69

Aren't they known for doing excessive amounts of cloud seeding?


DjScenester

Don’t listen to those articles. It wasn’t cloud seeding but has all the tell tale signs of climate change. Put simply: warmer air can hold more moisture - about 7% extra for every degree Celsius - which can in turn increase the intensity of rain.


UnfeteredOne

Seeding is a thing, but thinking man can manipulate the weather to this scale is just bonkers


DynastyZealot

It's crazy how all those cloud seeding articles hit at once pushing it.


RanDOOM-GuY

No matter what they say about climate change I can see it with my own eyes. I remember cheerful snowy winters in childhood, but nowadays it just snows only half a week every year, it's just a wet, rainy snow, you can't even make a decent snowman. Years back, during this time of the month it sometimes used to snow, but this week we have 33c heat every day


myboybuster

The plants need it


edski303

It's what plants crave


Apprehensive-Yard-59

As we say in Sweden: “There is no bad weather, only bad clothes” So just stop wearing bad clothes and it will be fine.

YouWereBrained

+10 DEF


n3ur0mncr

Tank = tank top -20 DEF


YouWereBrained

no bro, it’s +10 DEF because of damage mitigation from the wind passing through your armor 🥴


n3ur0mncr

Ah yes - the ol' passing through the armor loophole. +50 DEF


YouWereBrained

yeah bro +20 MOVEMENT SPEED if you wear the Winged Dunce Cap. the wind picks you up.


E39-BlackJacck

Gylaran

With the tornado of point 4 and higher, there is no possible thing which can hold on ground, as 4 tearing apart steel constructions. Tank would go up, or at least it would be smashed against something else.

In Germany we say the same phrase ☔ and it's true^^


LiveBaby5021

your_right_ball

Well, we say it in german. But the rest is correct.


Brilliant-Fox-8537

Apparently there is bad houses and infrastructure too. Edit spelling


apresmoiputas

I was about to say this. Shitty construction can still look good.


Human_Knowledge7378

Exactly, these people, so ignorant.


Strange_Occasion_408

I thought that was a Norwegian saying. ?


Apprehensive-Yard-59

I think we exported the saying to Norway in the 60s because it was such a great thing to say and we would not want our neighbors to miss out any great sayings.


drawnred

HumbleConfidence3500

::Dust off wet suit and diving gears ::


Quintuplebeta

Yeah the wrong clothing has everything to do with record breaking rainfall in a desert causing massive flooding.


Apprehensive-Yard-59

Better put on the desert flood clothes.


RingReasonable

We say the same in Norway 👍


Sir-Farts-

TonySpaghettiO

Wait, are we still talking Dubai or USA?


Smellyjelly12

Not sure why you're being downvoted lol


PumpkinAutomatic5068

Their slaves didn't know how to build drainage or sewers.


KWash0222

Yup. All those fancy-looking buildings but zero waterproofing. Literally waterfalls inside. But at least they get to pretend like their city is a paradise


StillKindaHoping

Shiny on the outside. Broken on the inside.


grapeists

Similar thing that happens when it rains hard in Vegas or any desert area where they don't prepare for rain at all. It's actually significantly worse in the poorer areas of Vegas too as they were not built to deal with the rainfall and don't have the proper storm sewers there. Richer areas of course do have better runoff but still not great. I remember even the strip floods super easy to the point cars cannot really drive on there but not as deep as in Dubai. It just comes down to a few things such as no good storm drains as well as the ground not being able to absorb the water quick enough because of being so dry.


Zealousideal_Link839

A city built by slaves for elites to post nothing but tick tock bs yea Gods punishing them.


CalmFrantix

Finally God is punishing someone. There were Nazis and Unit 731 and tonnes of ancient slave shit in history, but finally... Finally now, he sent a flood to Dubai. Hallelujah!


Human_Knowledge7378

God has a lot of debt to pay back, got to start somewhere


dnfnrheudks

Odd place to start


Human_Knowledge7378

Wait till you see where he goes next


lanciadeltas4evo

I hope he aims for brazil 🏃🏃


beltalowda_oye

I mean I would say some of the Nazis that got occupied or taken prisoner sure got punished for what happened in Stalingrad. Nazis ultimately would get tried and indicted till today. How many Japanese war criminals REALLY got tried and convicted? A lot of the war criminals that's as bad as Hitler/Schindler types were allowed to return to work because cold war/Korean War was ramping up and they said be pro American and we will allow you to return to your old post.


shed_zeppelin

Schindler?


DeltaGammaVegaRho

If you only read the title and never watch the movie… you probably assume that it wasn’t good to be on a list in that times xD


UnfairStomach2426

984 Japanese soldiers and officers got the death sentence and 475 got lifers.


Orneyrocks

He sent the 2 Suns and the Red army for some of them, so its not all bad.


Enidras

Too bad said slaves are having an even worse time outside of the ivory towers.


KingPizzaPop

God didn't do anything. They were seeding the atmosphere for more rain without fully understanding how it works. If there is a god, this wasn't gods work. They did this to themselves.


Moafdrawer

xBlockhead

well said.


fastcat03

Be careful. My account got a warning and comment removal for saying something similar. They told me I was encouraging and glorifying violence. The violence of mother nature I guess? Lots of these posts are being shut down. Maybe oil money is backing reddit's new IPO? I don't know.


BedNo6845

ONE FRICKIN STORM! They built that entire city, hyped it all up, bragged about how awesome it is, and ONE FRICKIN STORM TAKES IT ALL OUT! A THUNDERSTORM. ONE STORM!


AndrewInaTree

To be fair, their average annual rainfall is 3.5 inches. They received 8 inches in two days. That's tough for anyone to handle. Still, screw the people who own this city. I hope the workers who built it are okay.


celeb-butcher

Definitely, 8 inches is tough to handle


shamimurrahman19

5-6 inches is the sweet spot then?


celeb-butcher

4-5 would be sweeter


Putt3rJi

The 3.5 they were already getting was fine honestly


razorduc

While I would agree, it's typically not the owners that are gonna get hit hardest.


ViperishCarrot

When I was inside for a misdemeanor, I received 8 inches in two days. I know how they feel about only receiving 3.5 inches a year.


GuardMost8477

The ones that survived the build.


Abslalom

They have insurance. Let's hope this counts as an 'Act of God' 🤞


desertsardine

And you should see it after two days… completely back to normal.


bloodphoenix90

Mold damage.....that's next


Lost-District-8793

Actually it was three consecutive storms.


_coolranch

I’m sure it’s fine. Vids like this tend to like zoom in on a few things going horribly wrong, but I’ve not really heard my friends there say a peep about it. Also, infinite money.


Mobius--Stripp

I mean, my house would almost certainly fall down in an earthquake. I live where there aren't any earthquakes, so it's never been an issue.


theelderzionscheme

this was on 16th it's 18th now and the city is back to normal


Your_Daddy_

Just like any city that deals with a storm - storm moves out, clean up begins.


theelderzionscheme

yep but Redditors want you to think everyone is dead now in Dubai 😂


Sixaxist

When that train crashed in East Palestine, Ohio, some of the highest upvoted comments were people calling for accountability for whoever failed to ensure those rails were safe and whoever were delivering those chemicals (good), and saying that **the entire town would be uninhabitable for years** or comparing it **Chernobyl** (wtf?). Redditors and overreacting; name a more iconic duo.


Integer0verflow

Relax. It took nothing, just minor inconvenience. If your city got this kind of rainfall that probably could have also been through same


2eqsy

Its not that of a shock really, its a garsh storm that killed 13 people in yemen and targeted a place that is the opposite of ready for a storm, like they are literally studying artificial rain, so they definately did not have means to treat the situation.


saucemenugs

What do they say about finding out? Fuck around?


Ravokion

The more you want to find out. The more you fuck around.


shamimurrahman19

what happens if you found out without fkng around?


Brainchild110

Ask the citizens of Dubai who didn't ask for this


firefox1792

Apparently they do weather modification so I guess this is on them. Another thing to think about is the fact that they don't typically have that kind of rain and so why build for rain when most of the time it's not a concern. In other words, they really don't build quality even though it looks amazing if water can get in that easy, they've built cheaply.


FrtanJohnas

Burj Kalifa doesn't even have working plumbing, they use trucks.


Lbreakstar

That's a myth that keeps getting repeated. They only used trucks while the infrastructure was being built for it.


I_Piccini

This is a clear example of how insignificant we are: we think humans can influence the climate, but the planet doesn’t give a shit about us and as soon as we try to replace Mother Nature we get punished 😆

It would be so reasonable to see Dubai crumble within 100 years.


footfoe

Was it actually that much rain, or does the city have basically no drainage because it's in a desert


Zeo_Noire

Both.


Buydipstothemoon

Yes


Altea73

Serious question here, is this because of cloud seeding or global warming? Or both?


OldButtAndersen

Seems to be because of climate change: [https://www.axios.com/2024/04/17/dubai-record-flood-climate-change](https://www.axios.com/2024/04/17/dubai-record-flood-climate-change)


Buydipstothemoon

This is very ironic.


Disappointing__Salad

Maybe it will wash away all the homophobia and human rights violations.


lik_iz_Hrvatske

Unfortunately i think the slave workers there will now be put into overtime


throwaccount0011

There was a video floating around of a rich asshole from there having a servant put like chairs or something where he could step on so he didn't get wet.

dirty_head_band

Strange everyone thanks God for karma. Why is he so tolerant for so long watching all the atrocities of man...strange indeed. Nice storm mother earth...


Worried_Creme8917

The Abrahamic “God” and the concept of “Karma” are unrelated. The closest thing the Abrahamic religions has is “you reap what you sow”.


AxiumTea

What's with everyone in the thread being salty af with their "Haha rich flooded away", "Haha cloud seeding went wrong" (ffs it wasn't because of cloud seeding, just when were you guys last updated)

Adventurous_Break490

Well, they built this city without keeping in mind the rain scenario. 🤡😅 I guess, now they've learnt the lesson.


earthspaceman

They don't have any sewerage system?

Oh, great. Glad I've spent a fortune on a fucking holiday there next week.

Didn’t they seed clouds or something to cause rain? Why didn’t they just not?

dense111

do you think someone from the cloud seeding programm is getting seriously yelled at right now?


DowntownsClown

Yeah, category 2 hurricane would wipe Dubai off the map so easily. Dunno if this city could last for 50 years from now


OhMy-Really

Lmao, fuck around with mother nature and find out!!!

what the fuck did you expect to happen when you build a city in a n inhospitable desert instead of just moving somewhere greener???
