'I want to go home': passengers stranded by Dubai extreme floods
Passengers crowded around airline desks at Dubai International Airport on Wednesday after major delays and cancellations caused by heavy rains.
The United Arab Emirates was hit by what the government described as the highest rainfall in the past 75 years. The rains began on Monday night, and by Tuesday evening the desert city of Dubai had received the average amount of rain it normally gets in a year.
Although the heavy rains had eased by late Tuesday, disruptions were continuing on Wednesday, with Emirates airline suspending check-in for passengers departing from Dubai until midnight

What Dubai need to build is not those record breaking tall buildings and shopping centres. What they need is to build record breaking mega underground water reservoirs. Which can help against floods and unlimited fresh water.
