  1. Lol… almost up to the top of the hub caps… ankle deep.. oh my ! Like Britain gets a tiny snow fall in London, or Vancoverites cclosing schools due to "heavy" snow fall, 3 centimeters.. ๐Ÿ˜‚

  2. Just think what is going to happen when everyone tries to use the toilet. They have no sewar system or drainage for all that water. People are going to get malaria or staphylococcus.

  3. Guess what, it's called a 100 year flood for a reason. On average it happens once in a 100 years. Now if this happened once in a decade, then I would put it down to a new weather pattern.

    I know the climate is changing but come on guys let's not use every weather event to jump on the climate change soapbox.

  4. Remember that last time happened, Dubai was a some backwater fishing village. They built their city without cognisance of what 100 year flood line looks like
