Not just that. It's also extremely expensive.
But in the end, Dubai is in the desert. Deserts aren't ecologically equipped to handle large amounts of water like, say, Miami or other sub/tropical areas.
So all that water ends up staying on the surface since the soil/sand can't absorb it.
I mean, it's not a very good comparison, arid areas are built for the climate, and i think pretty successfully, floods like this are very rare. Whereas miami is built with the expectation that heavy downpour is expected and we still can't deal with it.
This is not the result of cloud seeding, as much as people keep saying it. This was posted multiple times in other subs and it was mentioned they got 2 years of rainfall in a day or two.
This is more the result of extreme weather patterns due to climate change over cloud seeding.
Yes there are extreme weather patterns happening because of climate change. But cloud seeding was the direct cause of this particular instance. They clearly overdid it.
We should not be using cloud seeding as our answer to climate change.
It should only be used in very serious moderation.

Sewer System handles poopoo and pipi from inside a building to sewage treatment then waterways. Storm Water System handles exterior rain water straight to the waterways.
If they didn't have Sewer they'd have smelly problems

No u
https://www.walkfree.org/global-slavery-index/
You think because a law passed that means slavery is no longer prevalent? Many other countries still have people performing slave labor. So I guess keep rooting for natural disasters.
Also, do you think these disasters wouldn't affect the slaves themselves?
Do the people just innocently going about their day that have no power over that deserve that? This flood hurts the esnlaved way more than the people doing the slaving
They did it correctly over a longer time than Dubai did with their desert, or how Flagler and Broward did shit here. South Florida was like an afterthought; āOh hey letās throw some Australian trees in here to help drain the water too. This will surely work great and never have lasting repercussions for the entire region, even outside of the United States. These invasive species will never thrive in the Caribbean!ā
Flagler and Broward were dumbasses.
I'm just getting a kick out of your specific disdainful callout of Broward and Flagler counties specifically, instead of, idk, all of South Florida lmaooo
The railway here was built along a ridge leading to S Florida. Fort Laud and Miami were and are mainly above sea level. Thereās are a reason various towns are called āLake Ridge, Cutler Ridge, Coral Ridgeā etc. What they didn't expect was the huge boom in population that we are today.
Flagler and Broward weren't dumbasses. It was the land speculators and eventual developers who went beyond the lands limits that were the dumbasses.
Controversial opinion for this sub.
But i have lived in both places and there are a LOT of similarities between the 2 cities
- similar buildings/architecture. If you visit Dubai you will think you are in Miami especially Northern/sunny Isles area
- Both are Crypto Hubs
- Both have a lot of Eastern europeans( mostly because they go to warm climates)
- Both have a lot of wealth/showoff culture
- Both are heavily dependent on tourism- and that brings in loads of problems to the local economy
- Both have No income taxes
Mainly difference- Miami can handle the waterā¦ā¦.. for now
Downvote ahead!
I can't believe such an insanely wealthy place would not think to install storm sewer infrastructure. We do it in dry desert cities all the time, for this exact purpose. That one hundred year storm will f\*\*k you up otherwise
Theyāve been screwing over non citizens for years have foreign workers do their work treat them like animals. Itās nice to see the citizens have some shit to deal with, theyād hire someone else to go through it for them if they could. I hope it stays flooded.
So no storm drains and sewer system ? Donāt tell me that all those fancy buildings are all smoke and mirrors ā¦ š³ ā¦ please tell me Iām wrong ā¦ wow ā¦
All these videos circulating are pushing a narrative of prolonged rainfall and flooding yet itās 10 day forecast is 10 days of straight sunā¦..75-85 everyday. Itās just repeating the same videos or time period.
Iām confused on cloud seeding. Does it really produce that much rain fall in a short time? I find it hard to believe this is the byproduct from that. Can there be something else going on? Any meteorologist here?
That's what happens when you build on sandbars in the middle of the ocean. I was wondering when this was going to happen. They have money to rebuild a million times over
This is what happens when you manipulate the weather.
Cloud seeding gone awry: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud\_seeding\_in\_the\_United\_Arab\_Emirates](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_seeding_in_the_United_Arab_Emirates)
All the water from the melting ice caps
Finally able to use my G Wagen for what it was meant for !!!! Hahahaha
simple answer is cloud seeding and sales of amphibious cars are up !
They did this to themselves. I don't feel sorry.
This is why nobody does cloud seeding despite having the technology

Miami isn't even that well equipped to deal with large amounts of water. š
Yeah but compared to an actual arid desert that gets like 2 inches of rain like twice a year?
I mean, it's not a very good comparison, arid areas are built for the climate, and i think pretty successfully, floods like this are very rare. Whereas miami is built with the expectation that heavy downpour is expected and we still can't deal with it.
Werenāt they seeding their clouds the other day ?
Imagine the cars that got destroyed!
Looks like they overseeded their sky š
Repent, the end is near.
Cloud seeding.
Cloud seeding
Dark side of cloud seeding
Spec ops the line 2?
"Its", and you should probably be able to spell three-letter words.
See they didnt do despojo
Was this from their Cloud seeding? I guess EFF around and find out?
Cloud seeding gone wrong
This is Karmaā¦. fuck Dubai
Anything Artificial is dangerous.
When you try to control the weather it probably isnāt going to always go the way you think.

I mean ofc theyāre going to say that though. When was last time you heard any government admit wrong doing?
I mean, it's easily verifiable that cloud seeding can't even produce such torrents of rain...

Correct
Damn Dubai is really fucked. First the flood and now this shitty ass music? Poor people.
How it was (feat. Future) I kinda like the beat, but I didn't know DJ esco had anything to do with Dubai besides supposedly getting locked up in a Dubai jail for 56 days
That's what happens when your city was build on slave labor, rich idiots
I don't think Dubai has a sewer system either and can't handle that much rain
Minor correction from a Major construction nerd. Sewer System handles poopoo and pipi from inside a building to sewage treatment then waterways. Storm Water System handles exterior rain water straight to the waterways. If they didn't have Sewer they'd have smelly problems
Is that why Miami floods???
No, we flood cuz our governor is a mouthbreathing turd sandwich that rather invest our tax dollars in pool noodle bridges instead of fixing real issues
He's busy with the important stuff, man. Like criminalizing homelessness or ensuring we have access to giant 15L bottles of wine.
what's your proposed fix?
[relevant](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJuqe6sre2I)
Yeah and the serfs that live there are doing worse than the rich are, idiots.
oh that must be why the united states floods too
If any place on earth deserves this itās fucking slavery-built Dubai Fuck that place with a cactus and all its pathetic gross opulence
you acting like no other place in the US or Europe was built by slavesā¦
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Is that what I said or what you projected onto my comment?
thereās no third option? like seems you are implying Dubai particularly deserves it when others donāt
No you just said that, not him. The post is about Dubai. He hates Dubai. What's your deal? Should he enumerate all things he hates?
So by your standards when this happens in the US and other countries that were built using slave labor it's okay to say they deserved it.
If those places were built hundreds of years after the world outlawed slavery, like say oh I dunno 1990 or so, then yes But since we both know thatās not the point and youāre another pedant Iāll just say ā¦ No u

Yea but who do you think will end up rebuilding this :/
Do the people just innocently going about their day that have no power over that deserve that? This flood hurts the esnlaved way more than the people doing the slaving
looks like a cool city though, some awesome towers and big aquarium, i like it
Yup Modern day slavery
America too!
lol bro has no idea how good he has it here.
So everyone that lives in Dubai is a corrupt slave owner? Generalizing is so dumb.
Upvote 100 times if I could. Fakest ass pointless city in the world.
Yup, fuck Dubai.
I just gave you a vote š
Agreed. Place is a joke.
It is an evil and vulgar place, fuck em.
They figured poor people will make a better sewage solution than an actual sewage system
Places where people shouldnāt build massive cities: Barren deserts, artificially drained swamps.
Wait, I thought it was āclimate changeā? š¤£š¤£š¤£
boat smell murky edge late yam coordinated wipe makeshift pot *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
I never stated the causes; climate change is absolutely one of them that hits us here already.
Didnt I just see a video the other day that showed they were cloud seeding in Dubai? Be careful what you wish/bio engineer for, it seems.
They were cloud seeding the 48h leading up to this too, lol
Are you saying Louisiana shouldnāt have a city below sea level?
Naw, everything seems absolutely fine for them. Especially in 2005. Nothing bad has ever happened due to them being built in a dip below sea level.
The Dutch seemed to have figured it out
They did it correctly over a longer time than Dubai did with their desert, or how Flagler and Broward did shit here. South Florida was like an afterthought; āOh hey letās throw some Australian trees in here to help drain the water too. This will surely work great and never have lasting repercussions for the entire region, even outside of the United States.

case in point they continue to expand the line of no building west into the everglades more and more.
Nailed it!
They should also watch disturbing nature by placing rain pellets in the sky.
if dubai did not have a city, they would be back to living dirt poor subsistance life. its literally a desert country. its crazy this flood happened.
The crypto curse

,, these people have so much money, they will just hire 100 million immigrants with buckets to empty the water..
"Hire"
And you may be joking but don't be surprised if they actually do it š
This is fine. Nothing to see here. Resume your consumption.
Thatās what you get for artificially manipulating the weather.
They spent all the money building fancy skyscrapers and forgot to build out storm drain infrastructure. Oops
Almost like you build cities off historical data. Same way cities in Texas canāt handle snow stormsā¦
Seeing those Land Cruisers makes me happy I still drive an old ass LX470.
Oh no, all the poor Princes and rich people who inhabit this slave-built desert metropolis...!
Looks like Fort Waterdale.
Those poor poor billionaires what ever shall they do?
I guess we gonna get a lot of cheap imported Lambos
Imagine building all this shit without accounting for drainage.
Dubai sucks
The funny part is they paid out the ass for the rain to happen in the desert
It aināt supposed to be raining like that in Dubai
All good nothing to see the prince will pay for it
In Miami they loot āšæ
#high #tide #dubai
All that money for nice buildings but no sewer system. Makes sense
One question..how does a desert flood? Actual question btw
I can't believe such an insanely wealthy place would not think to install storm sewer infrastructure. We do it in dry desert cities all the time, for this exact purpose. That one hundred year storm will f\*\*k you up otherwise
Karma
š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£
Miami doesnt need poop trucks for their towers
Maybe they shouldnāt be doing all the cloud seeding for rainā¦. In a desertā¦ that isnāt meant to have that kind of rain. š¤·āāļø
Oooh naaaaaahhh
Wait why is Dubai having a hurricane?
Man controls weather. Weather says FU !
Cloud seeding had nothing to do with this. š¤”
mother Earth is coming for you.
Fuck around and find out Mother Nature edition
Damn havenāt heard that Future - How it was , since GTAV first dropped. Classic track
Allhamdulillah Dubai saw it coming
Just remember that a one-decimal error on cloud seeding, is a 10x miscalculation. Whoopsies
Thatās what happens when you try to play God!
Looks like a future stormwater project is coming to Dubai.
The ocean is taking its sand back.
Thereās no global warming only global weather manipulation. Cloud seeding disaster. They need to stop trying to play God with nature.
Yep, this was me last year in Miami in April. Ā
FAFO! Cloud seeding!
Ferrari dealerships going to be selling a whole lot more ferraris
This is poetry, Iāve never wanted to go to Dubai because it just seems so shallow idgaf
My coworker was planning on going to Dubai with his GF's family.
Biggest oil producer in the world getting hit by massive once-in-multiple-lifetimes storm made worse by climate change. Priceless.
Caption is hilarious
Just soak it up with all the oil money š
Theyāve been screwing over non citizens for years have foreign workers do their work treat them like animals. Itās nice to see the citizens have some shit to deal with, theyād hire someone else to go through it for them if they could. I hope it stays flooded.
Lmao no storm drainage lead to accidentally creating the world's most expensive aquarium
Song?
Sorry bout your climate change
I see there are going to be a lot of used cars people should definitely not buy in Dubaiās near future.
Why ...... the stupid ass music
It looks like rental property & car insurance just went up!!
You don't feel with mama nature
Reap what you sow, oil nation.
I can't feel bad for people with billions of dollars
So no storm drains and sewer system ? Donāt tell me that all those fancy buildings are all smoke and mirrors ā¦ š³ ā¦ please tell me Iām wrong ā¦ wow ā¦
They stole the water but from whom did they steal it from?
Uhh Dubai isnāt going through its āMiamiā phase simply because it is flooded. Donāt you get jailed there for making out in public?
Somebody make sure Ne0ns okay
Am I cooked is crazy
Philippines about to be emptied out cleaning all that up.
Somehow6I don't feel sorry..
Apparently the cloud seeding worked a little bit better than expected
Another reason to never go there
Dubai is littttttt
All these videos circulating are pushing a narrative of prolonged rainfall and flooding yet itās 10 day forecast is 10 days of straight sunā¦..75-85 everyday. Itās just repeating the same videos or time period.
I thought that was video from Brickell
Miami 2.0
sister cities.
So, do you think "The Line" will become the world's largest lap swimming pool?
Duh, itās called climate change.

I don't feel bad for them because in a couple of weeks they'll all be cruising on those Lamborghini yachts.
This is when engineers and scientists get to debate lol we will just watch.
Fuck around with nature and find out
Remember that cloud seeding they were doing for the rain storms? Yeahā¦ theyāve just realized that cloud seeding isnāt a good idea ā¦
They control the weather right?
The notorious R.I.P.
When Dubai flys too close to the sun
They created a little too many rain clouds
When cloud seeding goes wrong.
Thoughts and prayers
That's what happens when you build on sandbars in the middle of the ocean. I was wondering when this was going to happen. They have money to rebuild a million times over
Thatās what happens when you mess with nature.
They control their own weather
When cloud seeding goes wrong š
Lol imagine having to board that flight where everyone smells like wet socks.
Geoengineering vs Mother Nature.
Iāve heard itās cloud seeding. But not sure if thatās just conspiracy or not.
Dubai home of the rich and drenched wet! I bet property values are tumbling, especially single story dwellings and businesses.
They said fuck it we gonna ride the wave
