Massive flooding in Dubai. A city paralyzed by water
Just a few days ago, April 16 of this year. Severe weather disturbances occurred in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Extremely intense rains and a powerful storm transformed the city’s streets into raging torrents, and some neighborhoods were cut off from the world.
The flood caused enormous damage. As a result of the disaster, not only cars were destroyed, but also houses, office buildings, the metro and Dubai airport. According to meteorologists in the United Arab Emirates, their country has experienced a record amount of rainfall since 1949, when the country did not yet exist. Remember that the United Arab Emirates was created on December 2, 1971.

The door handle of one of the vehicles half submerged in water proved to be a saving grace for the fur baby. The policeman noticed the helpless victim and rushed to his aid.
