The United Arab Emirates city has been hit by heavy thunderstorms
Heavy thunderstorms dumped more than a year and a half’s worth of rain on Dubai in the span of hours as it flooded out portions of major highways and its international airport.
The storms intensified around 9am local time on Tuesday, April 16 and continued throughout the day, bringing further rain and hail to the already overwhelmed city. By the end of Tuesday, over 5.59 inches of rainfall had soaked the desert city-state in a 24-hour period.READ MORE: 12 nicknames Scousers will always choose over 'official' place names
Emergency services slowly navigated the flooded streets of Dubai, their emergency lights illuminating the darkened roads. The city's driverless Metro also experienced disruptions and flooded stations. Authorities sent tanker trucks out into the streets and highways to pump away the water. Water poured into some homes, forcing people to leave their houses. The country's hereditary rulers offered no overall damage information or injury information for the nation, as some slept in their flooded vehicles on Tuesday night.
