This time, God really played a big joke with the United Arab Emirates! Usually, in the desert, dripping water is as expensive as oil, but suddenly, a pouring rain has set a new record for the rainfall that people have accumulated over the past 75 years! It is no wonder that it rained all day more than the usual whole year combined, and it was almost a day of rain that had been packed up and thrown into one day!
The part of Al Ain City is even more evil, 254 millimeters of rain in 24 hours, you think, the rain is estimated to be like pouring water, and the bang and bang don't stop. If this is left in our ordinary people's homes, the roof is afraid that it will leak into a sieve? But it is a desert city, how have we seen this battle!
The heavy rain is not only the UAE's fault, but also several neighbors in the Arabian Peninsula, such as Bahrain, Qatar and Oman, have been soaked in the water together. In Oman, in particular, 18 lives have been lost as a result of the floods.
Extreme weather, we hear more and more of this word now. In the past, you may have felt far away from you, but looking at the situation in the UAE this time, and then thinking about the sudden turn of drought and flood and hail in front of our own door, who would dare to say that climate change has nothing to do with our people? These "crazy moments" of nature really remind us: whether you live in a high-rise building or a desert tent, we are all equally vulnerable to God.
Therefore, in addition to making people feel sorry for those compatriots who were affected by the disaster, this matter also makes us ponder how to better deal with this sudden change of face in the future. In addition, everyone should do their part to save energy, reduce emissions, and protect the environment. After all, natural disasters are merciless, but people can be prepared!
This rare rainstorm in the desert in a century is not only a big accident, but also a loud alarm bell, and I hope that the UAE and other affected countries can recover as soon as possible.
