Cloud Seeding in Dubai Worsens Flooding according to Bloomberg. Remember when they told us cloud seeding was a conspiracy theory? Torrential rains across the United Arab Emirates caused flight cancellations, school closures, and brought traffic to a standstill. Seeding planes were used to take advantage of the low pressure system The heavy rains that caused widespread flooding across the desert nation stemmed partly from cloud seeding. The UAE started cloud seeding operations in 2002 to address water security issues, even though the lack of drainage in many areas can trigger flooding.

Catastrophic flooding in Dagestan: entire buildings collapsing In Makhachkala, a residential high-rise first sank and then collapsed. People may still be trapped inside. Residents of nearby buildings are being urgently evacuated. A state of emergency has been declared across Dagestan. The flooding has hit several cities at once — Derbent, Makhachkala, and Khasavyurt. Streets are underwater, thousands are left without electricity and water. Some areas are now only accessible by boat, and cars have been submerged. The disaster has been ongoing since March 28. One of the key reasons for such devastating consequences is widespread corruption in Dagestan. Officials allegedly embezzled billions meant for building drainage systems.
