Edwin GroothuisFor two weeks I daily checked the status of the lost luggage on my trip via the Dubai rainy-day-event. Today after a week of not checking: Still not found. #dubaifloods #emirates
Sally Strange@rejinl I had a vague idea, but I hadn't thought about it in a couple weeks. Two major human built environment factors contributing: a lack of drainage infrastructure, and the fact that so much area has been paved over with impermeable pavement.

Man of ManyWe all know it’s safest not to drive through flood waters no matter what car you’re in. However this driver of a one-in-99 multi-million dollar V12 hypercar didn’t seem to get the memo.

Jules she/her"The sense of skepticism from some about the true cause of the catastrophe highlights a frustrating duality: the public readiness to blame weather tampering directly aligns with a reluctance to accept that other human activities are actively contributing to the climate crisis and ultimately extreme events like this one."

𝐃𝐫. 𝕵𝖎𝖇𝖗𝖊𝖊𝖑L ₲Ⱬ₮ 🌍Desert city of #Dubai flooded.
This wasn't cheap or poorly designed infrastructure, Dubai is too vast and has too many drainage channels for it to be an infrastructure problem
Dubai received over 200mm/9inches of rain in less than 24hrs. That more rain than some monsoons
Dubai is also a DESERT
#ClimateChange is real.
