A storm dumps record rain across the desert nation of UAE and floods Dubai's airport
Fox News
The United Arab Emirates on Wednesday attempted to dry out after Dubai International Airport was flooded out and flights were disrupted; this follows the heaviest rain ever recorded in the country.
Rain also fell in Bahrain, Oman, Qatar and Saudi Arabia. However, the rains were acute across the UAE.
The flooding sparked speculation that cloud seeding -- flying small planes through clouds dispersing chemicals aimed at getting rain to fall -- may have caused the deluge. But experts said the storm systems that produced the rain were forecast well in advance and that cloud seeding would not have caused such flooding.
