Heavy rain continues to lash Dubai | VOA News
Unstable weather and heavy rain hit parts of the United Arab Emirates on Tuesday, flooding some roads and stalling traffic in Dubai. Meanwhile, the death toll in separate heavy flooding in neighboring Oman rose to 18 with others still missing as the sultanate prepared for the storm. The rains began overnight, leaving massive ponds on streets as whipping winds disrupted flights at Dubai International Airport, the world's busiest for international travel and the home of the long-haul carrier Emirates. Police and emergency personnel drove slowly through the flooded streets, their emergency lights flashing. Lightning flashed across the sky, occasionally touching the tip of the Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest building. https://www.voanews.com/a/heavy-rains-lash-uae-death-toll-in-oman-flooding-rises-to-18/7571746.html » Subscribe to VOA News: https://bit.ly/3KIPysi » Watch more VOA News video: https://www.youtube.com/c/VOANews Voice of America (VOA) is the largest U.S. international broadcaster, providing news and information in more than 40 languages to an estimated weekly audience of 236.8 million people.
