Video: Massive landslide due to heavy rains and floods in the UAE
A massive landslide has rocked the region of Al Qua in Al Ain, leaving behind a gaping crater-like collapse of a sandy road. The incident, which occurred following heavy rains and overflowing wadis, has dramatically altered the landscape for drivers in the area.
Videos circulated by the storm center and social media users vividly capture the sheer force of the landslide. In the footage, motorists cautiously approach the site only to swiftly retreat as they grasp the imminent danger.
One particularly harrowing video depicts a car being swept away by the relentless force of the landslide, resembling a raging river in its ferocity.
The landslide, reminiscent of a cascading waterfall, has swallowed a substantial portion of the road, rendering it impassable for vehicles.
The relentless flow of water and erosion has led to the crumbling of the road, posing a significant hazard to anyone attempting to traverse the affected area.
The National Centre of Meteorology has released a fresh weather advisory, predicting a significant downpour accompanied by lightning, thunder, and potential hail later today.
The rainfall will initiate in the western regions and extend to various parts of the country, with Dubai and Abu Dhabi experiencing the most intense conditions.
This inclement weather is anticipated to persist into Wednesday morning, with convective clouds gathering primarily along the coastal areas in the north and east.
