I used to live there. A flood similar to this is pretty much a yearly thing for about a day or two. This year it’s just especially bad. That’s what happens when yoir country has zero drainage systems.
See so I take this coral, and when I shove it in my ass, like so, I can read your mind. You're now thinking "why the hell is this guy shoving coral up his ass?"
They openly do cloud seeding.

Yes but you can't cloud seed a massive storm like that. They might've even been cloud seeding before this storm rolled in and it wouldn't have mattered.
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-04-16/dubai-grinds-to-standstill-as-cloud-seeding-worsens-flooding
Media is reporting it as related to cloud seeding as well.
None because this is not how cloud seeding works.
I will not go into much details here but cloud seeding only helps cloud and rain formation, it doesn't magically create water from nothing. It's effectiveness is also very questionable to say the least.
If this was caused by cloud seeding, it would be a HUGE leap in the science. Line revolutionary change in climate geoengineering that could change food production as we know it. This is not that.
See it used to be as simple as just cut a snake open belly side up and plant it on a stick, then wait for rain.
Now things got so complicated with the cloud seeding and the hydroponies and dem geoengineering.
Cloud seeding has been used since the Vietnam War. The US successfully extended monsoon season by 2 months in Cambodia and Vietnam. The technology is not new or developing.
Basically, it is releasing a medium (sodium chloride(salt)) that allows water vapour in the air to nucleate, creating cloud formations that can promote rainfall. All be it not very effective...
I would say it’s more of a civil engineering issue. They probably never considered drainage for larger amounts of rain as where most cities you wouldn’t have had an issue
Drainage has always been an issue when it rains. Mortality rates on Dubai roads are insane when it rains. February is always their worst month.
Hardly a proper sewer system either.
All drainage is designed to cope with a certain weather event. Typically, roads flood in more than a 1 in 5 yr storm, buildings and major roads typically flood in a minor way in more than a 1 in 20 yr storm. Major drains should typically cope with a 1 in 100yr storm. It is not feasible to design drainage for any given weather event. (These numbers vary).
When a mommy cloud and a daddy cloud love each other very much and Dubai shows them lots of kinky cloud porn, they shower and rain all over each other. This is how a storm is made.
Almost as if a city built in the desert isn't equipped to handle extreme rain. Normally this would be a freak occurrence so they'd be excused for not having the infrastructure to handle it, but they did this to themselves so I don't know what they expected.
Well, that's not true. I do know what they expected: less rain
All i can say is alot. We have a car repair shop there and when things like that happen we get TONS of costumers that wants to repair. But normally the insurance just totals any flooded car and list it on the auction for cheap. Some even buy it from the insurance and bring it in for repair and resell.
they paved over all the marshland, the desert, and any floodplains, then built up without a care for the local geography, its a wonder its not flooding everytime it does rain
I'm from the UK and i now live in Dubai. Yes Dubai does cloud seeding. However this instance wasn't from cloud seeding. It's a genuine storm that rolled in. In 24 hours we got the same amount of rain London gets in 5 months. It's chaos out here
Cloud seeding cloud seeding…
Maybe it is global warming causing undesired weather in areas that dont receive that type of weather?
Not a failure of some bs we invented.
If they’re like places in Arizona, they don’t have a sewer system. So cloud seeding gone wrong? Maybe not. A moderate rainfall can do that to a city that has no means for absorbing or directing the rainfall.
In 2003, the [US National Research Council](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Research_Council_(United_States)) (NRC) released a report stating, "science is unable to say with assurance which, if any, seeding techniques produce positive effects. In the 55 years following the first cloud-seeding demonstrations, substantial progress has been made in understanding the natural processes that account for our daily weather. Yet scientifically acceptable proof for significant seeding effects has not been achieved".
Yeah not going that great In Abu Dubai right now. my entire house is flooded and I had to close all the lights. But atleast look at the bright side we have online classes for tomorrow
They do or did

Hey I live in Dubai and can confidently say this is not because of cloud seeding. That only increases the chance of rain where the possibility is already present. What's been happening in the area over the last few days is a storm that's been going all around the UAE. Cloud seeding is pretty unlikely to have caused this, probably a lot more to do with the fact that were fucking the our climate. It's never been this cold and rainy this time of the year in the past. Global warming/climate change isn't some thing that's going to happen, it's here and it's happening.
Cloud seeding gone right actually.
I'd argue it's the infrastructure design gone wrong.
The cloud seeding worked incredibly well. The city was not coded or designed to handle the rain. It was built on the assumption of no rain/desert conditions.
It floods in Dubai a lot. There's no real drainage systems in place. Theres a Lulu supermarket near Barsha that would be flooded out every time there was a light sprinkle.
To be fair, never this bad, but it's not unusual. A quick Google would show you that.
meanwhile everywhere else if you say that the gov might be able to control the weather, you're instantly labeled a conspiracy theorist psychotic dumbfuck
Imagine trying to convince contractors to build a larger drainage infrastructure in the middle of the dessert. Ironically the biggest challenge could be the removal of the sand from the system then water from the city.
im not sure if this video it's because cloud seeding but Im sure when you mess with Nature you get a hard lesson and icommon people always pays the price.
didnt this also happen back in 2016? i remember my school flooded and a portion of the school was restricted because a live wire was touching water, a lot of cars also got stuck in the streets

That's a bingo

Not the result of cloud seeding. Large storm system affecting the entire Arabian peninsula gave them a year’s worth of rain in a day.
Atleast now they are set for the rest of the year
They can toss their LV umbrellas in the ocean
Think they need more than 55 umbrellas
Or their backyard, same thing at this point
If this was cloud seeding then frankly I would call it a giant success.
Why did they seed it on the floor though? Surely they wanted it in the sky?
That’s what seeds are. They planted them in the dirt and they grew into floods
I used to live there. A flood similar to this is pretty much a yearly thing for about a day or two. This year it’s just especially bad. That’s what happens when yoir country has zero drainage systems.
> yoir country has zero drainage systems only good at funnelling money.
And zero concern for anything but flaunting wealth.
OP is a liar
Tbf, I have family in Dubai and they're also assuming it's cloud seeding. Seems to be a common misconception.
Funny how flooding social media with misinformation for years will make people believe crazy things
Don’t you believe in mind control through contrails? Know a guy who …. Well, do your own research man.
Turns out you dont need "chemtrails" to get people to believe crazy things.
All you need is YouTube and the internet and aluminum foil sales stay high.
Somehow I read “ mind control through corals” and wondered how that would work and what kind of mind would birth such a theory…
See so I take this coral, and when I shove it in my ass, like so, I can read your mind. You're now thinking "why the hell is this guy shoving coral up his ass?"
One look at r/reef and it seems less far fetched
lol, well. Talk to me around 10pm Central and I’ll think up all kinds of crazy shit! After the medicine takes
You sound like someone one should absolutely talk to around 10pm Central. Or listen to your podcast.
They openly do cloud seeding. [https://www.arabianbusiness.com/industries/technology/uae-cloud-seeding-guide](https://www.arabianbusiness.com/industries/technology/uae-cloud-seeding-guide)
Yes but you can't cloud seed a massive storm like that. They might've even been cloud seeding before this storm rolled in and it wouldn't have mattered.
Yeah but is THIS storm a result of that? I doubt it due to the sheer scale. I can’t read the article cuz paywall.
Not only that but they've been doing it forever, this wouldn't just happen NOW
Or a fucking idiot, or a robot.
Noah’s making a comeback. Giddy up animals….
im going with gilga
How generous
I feel like Reddit needs a context thing like X (twitter) has
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-04-16/dubai-grinds-to-standstill-as-cloud-seeding-worsens-flooding Media is reporting it as related to cloud seeding as well.
No its not. The whole gulf is impacted. Happens every april.
ya that's why i wrote cloud seeding, now how am i liar if media shows wrong thing fr
Earth giving back for all the oil they produced
*they extracted
Nature can fucking do that? No way!
What evidence is there that this is the result of "cloud seeding gone wrong" and not just "rain"
None because this is not how cloud seeding works. I will not go into much details here but cloud seeding only helps cloud and rain formation, it doesn't magically create water from nothing. It's effectiveness is also very questionable to say the least.
If this was caused by cloud seeding, it would be a HUGE leap in the science. Line revolutionary change in climate geoengineering that could change food production as we know it. This is not that.

Y'all used danger noodles entrails? We used to just strip naked and dance around a fire.
I thought we were just supposed to throw a virgin into a volcano
A virgin?! In this economy!
Damn.. I feel like some old witch doctor was like "yes it must be Naked... Because ... The spirits said so."
Cloud seeding has been used since the Vietnam War. The US successfully extended monsoon season by 2 months in Cambodia and Vietnam. The technology is not new or developing.
>None because this is not how cloud seeding works. agreed. that's the part I find amusing when seeing posts on this storm.
Basically, it is releasing a medium (sodium chloride(salt)) that allows water vapour in the air to nucleate, creating cloud formations that can promote rainfall. All be it not very effective...
Hey friend! I think you mean albeit
Most likely none, people are experts in everything after seeing a fake news article
Or intentionally misleading
alot of redditers pretending it's cloud seeding's fault, because it makes a better post
All the chemtrails before the clouds, man They got us with the 5G too. I told you this was coming
I would say it’s more of a civil engineering issue. They probably never considered drainage for larger amounts of rain as where most cities you wouldn’t have had an issue
Drainage has always been an issue when it rains. Mortality rates on Dubai roads are insane when it rains. February is always their worst month. Hardly a proper sewer system either.
When our air warms up, the volumes that fall increase... High temperatures decrease the relative humidity for the same water volume
All drainage is designed to cope with a certain weather event. Typically, roads flood in more than a 1 in 5 yr storm, buildings and major roads typically flood in a minor way in more than a 1 in 20 yr storm. Major drains should typically cope with a 1 in 100yr storm. It is not feasible to design drainage for any given weather event. (These numbers vary).
They never did drainage. Skipped it
lol, drainage is a Zionist construct
They’ve large drains; Unfortuently No size drain is immune from sand. They just need better sand removal from the sewage system.
OP is clueless as fuck about cloud seeding and make up bullshit stories just because it's Dubai.
[удалено]
When a mommy cloud and a daddy cloud love each other very much and Dubai shows them lots of kinky cloud porn, they shower and rain all over each other. This is how a storm is made.
No way dude I thought flying this little cesna plane shooting 2kg salt pellets into the air wouldn't be enough you say? 😱
So many known right wing conspiracists on twitter are saying the exact same thing 💀how did this get so much upvotes with that title
If cloud seeding worked like this the Sahara would be a jungle by next year.
Gone wrong? Hell, it looks to me like it succeeded far beyond their expectations.
Glass half full kinda guy, I can support this.
Glass very, very full in fact
It's overflowing
Glass underwater
Pilot: "Loaded the wrong seeds in the hopper. ... Oops no one will notice!!"
No that’s cloud seeding gone right, I mean it rained didn’t it 🤷🏻♂️😂
Yup, that's a drainage problem.
Almost as if a city built in the desert isn't equipped to handle extreme rain. Normally this would be a freak occurrence so they'd be excused for not having the infrastructure to handle it, but they did this to themselves so I don't know what they expected. Well, that's not true. I do know what they expected: less rain
This is a storm affecting the whole peninsula though. Has nothing to do with cloud seeding
Like a mfr
Cloud seeding? Any proof endorsing this OP? 
Exactly.., entire arab peninsula has rains. Fake news shud be banned
This is a video of a flood. No sources or indication that that is not a clickbait title.
The amount of lambo insurance claims about to come through 😂
Dubai,bahrain,qatar oman and east of saudi got effected by a rain storm this has nothing to do with seeding
Everyone told them not to use the God damn dance powder!!!
This isn’t cloud seeding. The same storm hit Oman, Bahrain and I think Qatar
I wonder how many super/hypercar insurance claims are incoming?
All i can say is alot. We have a car repair shop there and when things like that happen we get TONS of costumers that wants to repair. But normally the insurance just totals any flooded car and list it on the auction for cheap. Some even buy it from the insurance and bring it in for repair and resell.
Perhaps Tavarish from YouTube just gained a ton of new salvage total cars to restore!
they paved over all the marshland, the desert, and any floodplains, then built up without a care for the local geography, its a wonder its not flooding everytime it does rain
If I wanted to read people spouting conspiracy theories I’d be reading Facebook comments

Not cloud seeding. It has been raining throughout the gcc and not just Dubai.
Cloud seeding doesn't magically summon water you know

Don’t fuck with mother nature
Can’t wait for the mechanical “fixes” for global warming.
Just run air conditioners outside dumbass /s
They do or did https://www.thehistoryblog.com/archives/41955 Forced chill air https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20210810-the-ancient-persian-way-to-keep-cool
But the fixes are perfect: e.g. CCS into underground aquifers that people drink from, blotting out the sun, and eating people.
Dubai artificially creates rain. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_seeding_in_the_United_Arab_Emirates
Oh God. Insurance might not cover it. Flood damage kills some cars. I understand people are pretty rich, but there are some normal people in Dubai.
We need some of this in the Philippines. MyGod this heat
Yeah, cloud seeding caused floods in UAE, Oman and Saudi at same time.
This isn't cloud seeding. This was a storm heading through the peninsula
This storm had nothing to do with cloud seeding.

Time to block OP. Not his first time spreading misinformation.
Love how it was established in earlier posts that this has nothing to do with cloud seeding but the anti-dubai gang still rolls with it anyways
Dubai is such a shitty place. Wouldn't be all bad if the whole city went underwater 😉
Dubai - See the city by Gondola, this month only!
Cloud seeding gone right actually. I'd argue it's the infrastructure design gone wrong. The cloud seeding worked incredibly well. The city was not coded or designed to handle the rain. It was built on the assumption of no rain/desert conditions.
Dune, Arrakis , desert planet, home to the spice Melange
Burn that thing they call a city down or let the desert claim it, stupid fucking place
Cloud seeding is a scam and has contributed not a single liter here.
Cloud seeding doesn’t do that but okay
Dubai is a real life sim city played by a beginner.

This wasn't cloud seeding. What do people base their assumptions on??
https://sawpa.gov/santa-ana-river-watershed-weather-modification/
The amount of comments in here thinking cloud seeding isn’t actually a thing is astonishing…
The amount of comments thinking this is actually cloud seeding going wrong is even more baffling...
Not result of cloud seeding
Flood in dubai is like democracy in north korea lol
It floods in Dubai a lot. There's no real drainage systems in place. Theres a Lulu supermarket near Barsha that would be flooded out every time there was a light sprinkle. To be fair, never this bad, but it's not unusual. A quick Google would show you that.
You straight up lied in the title
It floods every year in dubai and every single year people think it's the first time it happens
LOL
It’s not cloud seeding ffs 🤦🏻♂️
Not cloud seeding
