One of the world's busiest travel hubs — Dubai International Airport — has partially resumed operations after heavy flooding forced it to close on Wednesday. The standstill came after the United Arab Emirates was hit by a record breaking storm. More rain fell in a 24 hour period than ever before. At least one person was killed and many homes and businesses were damaged.
