The lobby is stuck because of the big storm

There are apocalyptic events that reach us from Dubai. Heavy rains and thunderstorms have turned the desert city’s roads into rivers.

Videos show luxury cars sinking into deep water, waves rocking the traffic. High-end muscle cars and Teslas fight the flood.

A clip shared on X showed the influencer and his girlfriend stuck in a Rolls Royce. The road is completely under water. In his Instagram story, Jordan Welch said: “My Rolls-Royce flooded and we’re stuck in the middle of the road in Dubai.”

The artist was shocked and said he was stuck “in the middle of the ocean”. Given his impressively influential status, he also said: “I’d rather be stuck in a Rolls-Royce than a Honda.”

In a follow-up, he said: “Like all my friends in the crypto world … I am underwater today.” The influencer was referring to the rapid decline in the price of Bitcoin and Co.

Authorities sent tankers into the streets to pump out the water. People were asked to stay at home. Schools remained closed Tuesday and students will stay home today.

More than 120 mm of rain fell on Tuesday alone – this is the normal annual average for Dubai. And more rain is expected to fall. The region is expected to experience severe weather until Wednesday, according to the United Arab Emirates weather service.

Heavy rains also fell in Bahrain, Qatar and Saudi Arabia. In the neighboring region of the Sultanate of Oman, approximately 18 people have died due to the heavy rains that have fallen in recent days. This was announced by the National Emergency Management Committee of the area.
