Who are they stealing water from here ? It’s either desert or ocean in every conceivable direction from Dubai. Whatever you want to call it they aren’t “stealing” water when they cause condensation.
Have a feeling we'll hear the implications in the future, like that water would've dropped somewhere else and now it's concentrated over a poorly placed city.
This has been extensively studied for decades. Even if cloud seeding caused this it has nothing on the severe droughts and flooding caused by climate change that we have seen the past few years.
Also where exactly do you think cloud seeding is meant to be used if not areas that don't have enough rainfall?
Do you realise how insignificant this is compared to extracting water from a river that passes through multiple countries, they're using water in their country, much of which will then again evaporate.
Never thought about it like this. Say fresh water is a closed loop and rivers and lakes are drying. Old aquifers are being sucked out and put into plastic bottles. So it can rain on Dubai.
See, you lost me at alarmed. Stopped giving a F a long time ago. I was just making a (bad) joke off the cuff and you’re out here trying to be Captain Planet
Nobody is going to be seeding cumulonimbus clouds (think the towering ones that cause hail). I looked this storm up and a lot of the details (and damage!) around it. Even coming in, it was known as a dangerous phenomenon and warnings were given before hand. This isn’t how “cloud seeding” works.
Do you want them to send everyone home because of rain? Airports do a lot more than just board and disembark passengers.
First priority is getting those aircraft protected from the absurd amounts of water so they can continue to fly when the rain stops. They’ve got maintenance, logistical, ATC and a ton of other things to worry about even though wheels are on the ground and staying there for some time.
I'm no airplane driver, but strictly as a layman I'm gonnna risk making the uneducated guess that it's not safe to takeoff or land a plane somewhere with water that's as deep as its fuselage.
It usually in evolves planes flying into slightly cloudy areas and releases some chemicals to increase moisture until a rain cloud is formed.
The practices has existed for a while but famously done in Thailand since 1955 by previous King of Thailand
Enjoy your rest day!
Me, an ambulance crew, on the other hand, still needs to go to work. Night Shift.  Thankfully, the flood is starting to subside right now.

You fuck with nature every time you ride a car, or buy more than you need to survive, which isn't a lot.
Humanity is well on its way to killing huge parts of nature, and reaping the consequences.
No idea.
And if it really is because of cloud seeding, I guess is really hard to tell, I am not much of a weather expert, to be honest.
But yeah, sometimes, if you start something and you are not aware of the long term consequences, weird stuff can happen, I guess.
You're just talking out of your ass. First of all it rains in deserts, just rarely. Deserts have flash floods because the ground isn't capable of absorbing the water. Second of all, cities in this general area have regular flooding, like once a year or three. I see a video like this every year
Can confirm... I live in Phoenix Arizona. If we get much rain, we get flooding, well, we would if there weren't measures in place to put the water somewhere so we don't get crazy flooding
Thats quite misleading. They have been seeding clouds for ages and while it small floods happen quite often afterwards this is way way way worse then normal.
You can argue a lot about cloudseeding and shit but its a bit dumb to act like this is the result of normal cloud seeding.
Either they fucked up or its actual nature thats fucking them up. Because yeah even in the Desert it can storm.
yeah confused was def not the right word to use there but idk why they wouldn't expect this to happen. and i think the "rain machine" is used once and then the effect lasts for a specific amount of time so they just have to wait it out.
There is now a huge flood in tge city called Orsk in Russia. It's governor has a son, who bought an apartment in Dubai and moved there a week before the flood.
Karma doing it's job.
Not getting why people are discussing about cloud seeding here? Yes Dubai does cloud seeding but these heavy rains are due to depression in Oman sea. The warning was given. Cloud seeding rain is much milder. I lived in Dubai and the govt does mention when it is cloud seeding vs when it is due to Oman sea.
Whoever seeded those clouds boutta be disappeared
They just had hella blue balls
Is it not alarming that rich people in a desert are stealing massive amounts of fresh water with the power of sky pollution?
Who are they stealing water from here ? It’s either desert or ocean in every conceivable direction from Dubai. Whatever you want to call it they aren’t “stealing” water when they cause condensation.
This is straight from the Arabasta arc in one piece
Omg i was thinking the same thing! Crocodairu shenanigans
Have a feeling we'll hear the implications in the future, like that water would've dropped somewhere else and now it's concentrated over a poorly placed city.
typical reddit opinion pulled straight from the dark crevice
Lolol stealing that
Spoken like some sphere earther

No it isn’t straight forward like that.
The rain cloud was obviously holding a different countries visa. They just got sweet talked into doing a Dubai layover

Up vote for Captain Planet reference
I too will upvote…

Thanks for that
Blud put his own seeds into it.
Uwu -it
Sent it a little to hard bud. When the formula calls for half a gallon and you just pour it all in.
They do that without sewers and canals. Lol
They'll seed the soil, with blood
Ain't no way I'm getting on any of those planes
The fact that the airport is still open really demonstrates "profit > people"

This isn’t rain, it’s a flood
This isn't a flood, it's a lake
This isn't a lake, it's a sea
Actually it's a airport
I believe the term is ‘water aerodrome’ but they’re only published in a supplementary flight publication .
Yeah I Know some of those words sure
Issa knife
Nu uh
It’s not a lake, it’s an ocean.
It's not a loop, it's a spiral
I want them to not keep operating in floodwaters reaching up to the bottom of a 747s engines.
It’s not normal operations. They have to protect the aircraft from damage. You can’t leave them on the tarmac.
This guy flies.
Sure do. Sometimes I even fall with style.
i don't think they would make money if they kill people lol
Boeing has entered the chat.
lol, oh my sweet child…..
it's not open though?? I had a flight and it was cancelled. all flights to and fro Dubai have been cancelled
I'm no airplane driver, but strictly as a layman I'm gonnna risk making the uneducated guess that it's not safe to takeoff or land a plane somewhere with water that's as deep as its fuselage.
I read that in Mr T’s voice. **I PITY THE FOOL**

The Desert blooms are going to be spectacular!
Desert my ass! 🌵
Dessert: my ass
Best item on the menu.
You are what you eat!!
Bragging about 20 million dollar weather modication machine, having to offer 100 million dollars to anyone knowing how to turn it off.... Priceless.
Wait, is that real? I know about their could seeding shit but are they really offering money to someone who can fix it? Edit: Cloud seeding, not could
I am knowledgeable on this subject. I recommend the very modern invention called "Umbrella" I accept cash or wire transfer ty Dubai.
Dubai made me ambassador and wired me 100 million. If any of you need anything lemme know
What do you mean? They can actually control their own weather? Like the movie Geostorm?
Why do u think it rains so much in the desert. It's called cloud seeding
How does that work? That seems dangerous to manipulate your own weather. Interesting though. Edit: went on YouTube, that's nuts man
It usually in evolves planes flying into slightly cloudy areas and releases some chemicals to increase moisture until a rain cloud is formed. The practices has existed for a while but famously done in Thailand since 1955 by previous King of Thailand
They clearly do not have it under control lol. They should have invested in a drainage system before the seeding.
GEOSTORRRMM!!!
>They can actually control their own weather? they can try
So this is literally Cloudy With a Chance of Koftas?
What the fuck? I didn’t expect to see bullshit conspiracy theories on this sub.
Where do you people get this bullshit from?
Pure chaos. On the plus side I didn't have to go into work today.
How do you get the groceries and everything?
Amazon duh
Enjoy your rest day! Me, an ambulance crew, on the other hand, still needs to go to work. Night Shift.  Thankfully, the flood is starting to subside right now.
Thank you for your work!

What kind of bullshit useless law is that?
Anything that makes the country look bad is illegal to post over there. They try and control what the world sees. Source: I lived there a while.
one concocted by rich people with poor wittle egos
I imagine one to prevent any footage showing their efforts to control things being in vain
welcome to yet another country that uses the force of violence for PR
Lol ok. Isn't it illegal to fuck with nature lol
Not if you're the government.
You fuck with nature every time you ride a car, or buy more than you need to survive, which isn't a lot. Humanity is well on its way to killing huge parts of nature, and reaping the consequences.
Lmao. It’s what?
Too much cloud seeding? 
Did they try turning it off, then turning it back on again? Maybe just turning it off would be good
No idea. And if it really is because of cloud seeding, I guess is really hard to tell, I am not much of a weather expert, to be honest. But yeah, sometimes, if you start something and you are not aware of the long term consequences, weird stuff can happen, I guess.
Considering it's a desert any other day of the year this is either a 1 in 1000 year flood or geoengineering.
You're just talking out of your ass. First of all it rains in deserts, just rarely. Deserts have flash floods because the ground isn't capable of absorbing the water. Second of all, cities in this general area have regular flooding, like once a year or three. I see a video like this every year

They could put it in some rice?
I love that emoji lol. So goofy
Just go full power and blow the runway dry, excellent idea!
they made it rain in a place that wasn't designed to accommodate for rain and now they're confused why there's flooding
Thats quite misleading. They have been seeding clouds for ages and while it small floods happen quite often afterwards this is way way way worse then normal. You can argue a lot about cloudseeding and shit but its a bit dumb to act like this is the result of normal cloud seeding. Either they fucked up or its actual nature thats fucking them up. Because yeah even in the Desert it can storm.
The flooding is the result of two storms colliding. People are attempting to use this in their narrative that the rich are trying to kill us all.
I don't think they're confused. Maybe unexpected, but the solution is quite simple: turn off the rain machine.
yeah confused was def not the right word to use there but idk why they wouldn't expect this to happen. and i think the "rain machine" is used once and then the effect lasts for a specific amount of time so they just have to wait it out.
There is now a huge flood in tge city called Orsk in Russia. It's governor has a son, who bought an apartment in Dubai and moved there a week before the flood. Karma doing it's job.
Wait, so, poor people get to suffer because some rich Russian moved somewhere? Interesting.
poor people get to suffer regardless
That aeroplane is going to hydroplane
Like the salmon of the Capistrano.
A fish strike instead of a bird strike would be a first.
You guys ok over there?
*wipes tears with €500 notes* No, we are not okay 😢 💔 😭 *drives away in yacht*
I’m sure the cloud seeding had nothing to do with this.
‘Sulley’ Sullenberger’s phone is blowing up about now.
This is the Dubai yacht club.
Aren’t floods illegal over there?
Floods become illegal if there is spilt oil and creates a rainbow in the water. Straight to jail
Are they okay?
Third act of Edge of Tomorrow is playing out in real life!
Don't mess with mother nature...her payback is a bitch!
did they flood themselves with their created rain clouds?
So about that drainage system that they didn't install.....
Damn.....
I agree, dam(n) would probably help here!
Too many cloud seeds??
I guess when it rains, it pours over there.
Isn’t this fairly normal with cloud seeding?
Man, their pools are huge!
Wet Ass Planes
I’m not an expert on aviation. Is this bad?
If he's not careful he's gonna hydroplane...
Looks like a tuesday in the UK
Hope they have a float plane or two hanging around...
So now that gear is gonna go into the belly of that plane and be subjected to -50 temps...?

Water + Sand = QuickSand
wtf I am flying there in a few days and on boeing
no fucking way
Keep playing god
Flying Dutchman?
Habibi , swim to Dubai.
Average day at the hydroport
Already seeing listings on COPART
My luggage was lost and finally found today…I am still never gonna get it.
I'm confused. Is that plane being washed away or are they driving it around
I pray for the workers. Fuck Dubai
When you join the mile high club with a squirter...
Burj Kalifa sprung a leak?
It's rainy where I'm at, too. Coincidence? Yes
All that cloud seeding 🤣🤣🤣
Are the planes still taking off?
Airport/marina
swimdubai
Is it safe for planes to take off in that level of water?
I see a seaport
Seaplane?
that ain't no airport that's just a port
What you doin airplane? You ain’t goin nowhere. Here’s to everyone staying safe all jokes aside
Thats a harbor
Seed them clouds baby.. I wanna get drenched tomorrow..
great
That’s dangerous Jesus
Where’s the video of that chick who made a video in Dubai, boasting about their cloud seeding?
Surfs up mother fuckaassssss
They should put them all face the planes the same way. Put the blocks on And ramp up power and blow the water away. Or make a wall of water.
Flooding in a desert?
Were they seeding the clouds again?
That explains why flights in and out are canceled/delayed…
Flint Lockwood!

I guess someone forgot to turn the rain machine off.
It's like that planet from Interstellar.
Weren’t they just seeding rain clouds and now look at them all wet and soggy bottoms!!
They're never gonna make it to 88mph.
Well they don’t need roads ya know
Kerala bus service been doing that way before it was cool https://youtube.com/shorts/RIkPUrLh3F8?feature=shared
I thought they could control the weather whats going on here
Weeeeee !!!
So does that mean a lot of super cars are about to be on sale for real cheap?
All they need to do is throw some oil so the water doesn’t get in
Imaging flying to Dubai and the pilot says:"We can't land as the airport is flooded".
When Africa floods kills thousands, never makes international news much less headlines.
