DUBAI: United Arab Emirates (UAE) citizens have been asked to stay at their homes as heavy rains flooded streets and caused a couple of roads to collapse.
The UAE National Emergency Crisis and Disaster Management Authority (NCEMA) informed citizens to leave their homes only in case of emergency.
The UAE authority advised motorists to park vehicles in “distant, safe, and elevated locations away from areas prone to flooding”.
Schools went online overnight, and all government employees were informed to work from home Tuesday and Wednesday as the weather bureau warned of unstable weather conditions that will intensify in two waves today.
Many vehicles have broken down as motorists attempted to drive through waterlogged roads. Lightning and thunder boomed through the skies as giant hailstones shattered vehicle windshields in some areas of UAE. Some residents have also reported electricity outages.
