Tropical Storm Update (4)

Storm is still passing through Oman. Heavy rains in Sharqia region and light-ish rains in Muscat. Expect heavy wind and rain in Muscat this evening as the eye of the storm passes through. The wadi-scenes from Mahoot and Sharqia are horrifying. So much water.
.
Two dead so far. Allah Yer7amhuh. STAY AWAY FROM WADIS!
.
Exams for schools and many colleges are being postponed until June 12. Yay for grade 12 students.
.
Stay tuned to Oman TV to get your dose of live footage from all the affected areas. The Phet studio went on air at 11 p.m last night and will be the only program on air until the storm passes.
.
The danger has NOT passed yet. DO NOT go out exploring. The wadis are extremely dangerous and some of the dams are overflowing, including Sur Dam which was full by 11 p.m last night even before the storm hit!

  1. This worries me enormously. I really hope that this will not be as serious consequences caused by Gonu. I pray to Allah for all of you. Inshallah khear.
