you must have missed the rain on the first week that La Riviera tower opened.

It rained so much one morning it over filled the rooftop pool and the top 3 floors/appartments got totally flooded and blew all the electrics in the building.


Yeah, and they did not open the pool for months. It was funny, someone took pictures of the empty pool and put many "for sale" signs in the elevators for days. The text read, "Beautiful never used roof deck pool for sale, dimensions L x W, imported tile and the finest filtration system - never used. All offers will be considered". It was a running joke and the management had the security guards playing "detective" - they never figured it out!


What would they have done if they did figure it out? Makes me laugh.

Yes indeed, several people got their vehicles fully submerged

One hopes they worked for Scuba Dubai?

I think some scuba divers went into the underpass for a look.

One of them tried to sell me a 'water damaged' Toyota Landcruiser!

The lake outside my house looks quite clear. What might be a problem are the cockroaches. We had to lift all the drain covers yesterday in an attempt to relieve the flood level and the manholes were absolutely full of swimming cockroaches, some of them huge!

I did see one with a mask and snorkel...
