There's something nice about seeing Web3 fanatics in ankle-deep water

And the Lord looked down upon the crypto bros and He was grieved in His heart. So the Lord said,"I will send down upon thee a flood to wash out thy crypto conference."

Precipitation began on Monday night also hitting Bahrain, Oman, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia, but the United Arab Emirates bore the brunt. By Tuesday evening, more than 142 mm had fallen on Dubai. On average, the city gets 94.7 mm in an entire year. Conference attendees reported 10-hour-plus waits for taxis from the airport, and roads being completely flooded between Marina and Downtown. The Metro was obviously inoperable, and Ubers were getting stuck on the streets. Some on the ground even paid as much as 1,000 AED for a cab from the airport to the Marina area, presumably because most were underwater, while those redirected to Abu Dhabi were also welcomed by deluged roads.
