Desert city of Dubai floods as UAE hit by heaviest rainfall in 75 years
City records over 120mm of rain in a day, about as much as it expects in a year as rain floods highways and homesGuardian staff reporter (The Guardian)
Hard to overstate how massive a disaster this morning's Baltimore Key Bridge collapse is.
The bridge spans one of the busiest ports on the east coast.
Before repair (or replacement) can even start, the collapsed bridge wreckage will have to be cleaned up to clear the waterway.
The bridge had a single point of failure. Replacement seems more likely than repair.
Years until we see traffic flowing over that span again?
