00:00 Before watching the video, I remind you that there is more content on the hot spot website.
00:03 The Middle East has recently been hit by bad weather.
00:08 The flood in Amman, in the West African region, broke out on Sunday,
00:11 killing at least 20 people, most of them students and many people were missing.
00:15 The storm also began to hit other coastal countries the day after,
00:19 including Bahrain and the Arabian Nile.
00:22 On Tuesday night, the Arabian Nile, Dubai,
00:24 caught a rare downpour, causing the dry desert city to turn into a water country.
00:30 One person has died so far.
00:32 Data shows that the rain in Dubai has dropped nearly 100 mm in just 12 hours,
00:38 which is equivalent to the rainfall in Dubai for a whole year.
00:41 The Alianqiu National Meteorological Center has issued red rain warning warnings to most of the country,
00:47 reminding people to be extra cautious when entering and leaving.
00:50 The heavy rain has delayed or canceled the large-scale flight of the Alianqiu national flight.
00:55 Even the second busiest Dubai International Airport in the world
00:58 has been paralyzed for nearly half an hour due to the heavy flooding.
01:03 The crew and the departure situation have also been disrupted.
01:06 The relevant authorities urge people not to go to Dubai International Airport for the time being if it is not necessary.
01:12 Dubai International Airport issued a statement today saying that they are working hard to restore normal operation as soon as possible.
01:17 In addition, the flood also flooded the subway station in Dubai, causing service to be cut off.
01:22 Most schools in Alianqiu are also closed urgently.
01:24 Government employees are also working from home from a distance.
01:29 The reason why this rainstorm is so unexpected
01:31 is because Alianqiu is a dry Arabian Peninsula country.
01:36 It is not common to rain.
01:38 It usually appears in the cold winter.
01:40 Therefore, many areas and roads lack drainage systems,
01:44 which caused the heavy flooding.
01:47 The storm attacked Dubai International Airport in Alianqiu,
01:52 which flooded the airport into a huge pool.
01:55 The plane looked more like a boat on the water,
01:58 so it was very scary.
02:00 As the people were shocked, the furniture on the balcony of the apartment was blown away,
02:04 and the whole city was lightning.
02:06 It was almost impossible to see the buildings in the distance.
02:12 Social media also circulated that the shopping malls in Dubai were full of water.
02:16 The rainwater flowed down from the ceiling, forming a waterfall.
02:22 The flood also caused traffic jams on several main roads in Dubai.
02:26 The cars were so long that they could not see the end.
02:28 Some cars were also soaked in the water.
02:30 Some roads were more flooded than expected,
02:32 which caused the cars of the people to be blown away.
02:35 Cars and passers-by could only move slowly and shoot water.
02:38 The local subway station was also flooded.
02:41 The parking lot became a big pool.
02:43 Some people used hand-pulled cars to send passengers to the other end of the subway corridor.
02:48 In addition, there was a video of the power of the flood.
02:51 The flood of the group was like a typhoon that hit the shore.
02:55 The scene was spectacular and shocking.
02:57 After the flood was over, some roads in the residential areas were also severely damaged,
03:01 leaving thick mud.
