Chaos ensued in the United Arab Emirates after the country witnessed the heaviest rainfall in 75 years, with some areas recording more than 250 mm of precipitation in fewer than 24 hours, the state’s media office said in a statement Wednesday.
The rainfall, which flooded streets, uprooted palm trees and shattered building facades, has never been seen in the Middle Eastern nation since records began in 1949. In the popular tourist destination Dubai, flights were canceled, traffic came to a halt and schools closed.
One-hundred millimeters (nearly 4 inches) of rain fell over the course of just 12 hours on Tuesday, according to weather observations at the airport – around what Dubai usually records in an entire year, according to United Nations data.
The rain fell so heavily and so quickly that some motorists were forced to abandon their vehicles as the floodwater rose and roads turned into rivers.
No I didn’t say that and you know I didnt, but argue you must.
Sure looks like you suggested as much to me:
If not, then why did you say “to the addict, it’s always someone else’s fault” after I brought up blaming Purdue Pharma for addiction? And if you wish to remain here, I would advise you not making personal attacks like claiming I have some need to argue with you (especially when you responded to me). I do not moderate discussions I am personally involved in, but I cannot speak for other moderators who see such things.
Forget it, I’m not interested in another person in my life that lives to argue…
Again, you responded to me unprompted.
Don’t start arguing with someone and then claim they’re the one that lives to argue. Look in a mirror.
