The former Bachelor Paul Janke also experienced first-hand what the rains can do. In his story on Tuesday (April 16, 2024) he posted pictures from the Mall of Emirates, which is completely under water. New water flows through the ceiling like a waterfall into the shops. “It was awesome,” he commented on the recording. In another sequence he is driving his car where there once was a road. Signs can still be seen - but there is no sign of the road. A few vehicles struggle across the flooded road.
