French influencers living in Dubai reacted on social networks to the impressive floods. "I have never seen such a big storm in Dubai," said Instagram creator Caroline Receveur.
Severe storms also affected Bahrain, Oman, and parts of Qatar. In Oman, 18 people died due to torrential rains, according to local media. "Half of the shots failed us, we no longer have the internet (...) I think the car is a technical knockout,' said Milla Jasmine on Snapchat. 'I am shocked. The ceiling has just collapsed, I am shocked,' said former reality TV star Manon Tanti. 'The roof has collapsed.' 'It's a disaster.'
