**NASA released photos of parts of Dubai and Abu Dhabi before and after the United Arab Emirates (UAE) was hit by record rainfall last week that caused dangerous floods and paralyzed much of the country.**
The images, taken by NASA Earth Observatory on Friday using Landsat data from the U.S. Geological Survey, show large patches of water all over the desert and urban landscape of the UAE where previously there was none. Some areas remained flooded on April 19, when Landsat 9 passed over the region for the first time since the storms, NASA wrote on its Earth Observatory website.
Flash floods formed on April 16, engulfing cars and leading hundreds of drivers to abandon their vehicles on roads. The normally dry desert country in the Gulf was pummeled with roughly a year’s worth of rain in less than a day, more than it has ever seen in a single storm since records for the UAE began in 1949.
The deluge closed schools and businesses, grounded hundreds of flights, and destroyed cars, businesses, and other property. It threw daily life into chaos as many residents lost power and running water or were trapped either inside their homes, in airports, or wherever they happened to be when the storm hit.
French air traffic controllers are set to strike on Thursday, April 25, potentially causing major disruptions to flights to and from France. The strike action is expected to result in the cancellation of 75% of flights at Paris Orly Airport, 66% of flights at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport, and significant reductions at other major airports in France. Flights crossing French airspace could also be affected, leading to potential delays and cancellations across Europe. British tourists traveling to and from France are advised to check their flight status before heading to the airport. The strike is part of a larger industrial action by French air traffic controllers over planned restructuring of air navigation services, demands for a pay raise, and requests for additional staffing.
