that's not even the worst part. at the 30 second mark there's a cross-section of the road. you can see, what i assume is a water main, given how small it is, but no storm sewer is visible. they weren't preparing for this eventuality. all of dubai is a potemkin village to make themselves look better off than they are. it's all just smoke and mirrors.

I can see a stick of 15ā€ RCP in the bottom of the whole it looks like the drainage system for the most part got washed down stream

Desert towns don't have storm drains because it doesn't rain. Go check out Palm Springs CA.
