The US isn't the only country experiencing crazy weather.  Yesterday Dubai in Saudi Arabia, smack in the Middle of the desert, experienced record rainfall which caused extensive damage.  There are videos of planes taxing in what appears to be a foot 9r two of water.  Many of those extravagant skyscrapers were damaged.  Haven't heard a word about this on the news.

Headline in the NYT:  Heavy Rain and Floods Kill 19 in Oman and Disrupts Dubai Airport

BBC.com:  Dubai Airport Chaos as Gulf Hit by Deadly Storms

WSJ:  U.A.E Hit by Heaviest Rainfall in 75 Years

 

And is if that wasn't horrible enough, there was a sizable volcanic eruption in Indonesia!

There are "rumors" about cloud seeding.  No one has has stepped forward to take credit for it.

@RoughDraft.  There were also weather condition conductive to the formation of such a storm.

 

Everytime there's an event anymore, the conspiracy theorists come out of the woodwork.

The videos of the plane taxiing in the water at the airport were something else - where were they going? LOL

I also saw some good news - a video of a policeman saving this kitty hanging on to a van in the flood. Whew saved it in time! Poor traumatized baby. Now I hope they find the owner or it gets a good home!

To think their cities are all built on sand... a disaster waiting to happen.
