Flood in UAE
UAE is a well developed country, but it has a very poor drainage system. Little rain will result in minor floods. Yesterday night rained heavily, resulting in the closure of Emirates Road because of floods. Several desert camps were closed because of damage from the 2 consecutive nights of rain. My sister got stuck in Sharjah for more than 2 hours in traffic because of the minor floods. Even in International City, my Pinay officemate was complaining of flood in their area.
This is something that the government should look into when designing their city. It hardly rains in the desert but when it rains, it really pours. Below is a video of the usual flood after the rain in Sharjah two years ago.
