    When you try to play God đź’€
  • The one thing that the country did not plan for was building floodwaters draining canals

    This is why you don't mess with the weather.

    Maybe they should stop Chemtrailing .. I mean "cloud seeding"
  • @Point_Particle
    Get ready for a record number of exotic super cars to hit the market as flood-damaged. Great news for the DIY maintenance and repair super car owners. A lot of rare parts will soon be available, once these cars are shipped to the UK to be stripped.
  • Isaiah 41: 18 " I will make rivers flow on barren heights, and springs within the valleys. I will turn the desert into pools of water, and the parched grounds into springs"
  • This my first time hearing the news say publicly they mess with the weather.
  • @Fyrestar101
    That’s amazing to see. I never realized that even it could flood like that.

    I lived there for six years. I still have loved ones there. My friend and her children were evacuated via raft today. The infrastructure isn’t set up for this amount of rain. There no real sewer system. Even gutters are rare.

    Sounds like their cloud seeding with drones is working

    Weather control at his fineness 🤦🏽‍♂️

    God is speaking. Now its time for the people to listen.
  • @chrisgo420
    And just think 100 years ago that was not a desert. Dubai was an ocean.
  • @AdayaAmore
    The wrath of God. I’m sure we’ve all heard about the debauchery that goes on in Dubai.
  • It wasn’t because of a storm! It was because of cloud seeding!!
