It was in Arabic, but translating roughly, it was saying "heavy rain was coming in half an hour to forty-five minutes, stay off the roads and don't go out because the flooding will be severe" etc. This was claiming to come from the meteorological department.<br /><br />Utter B.S. though, as I could see a clear sky out of the window so did what a normal person would do and checked the weather maps from a few different sources: general prediction for Muscat was showers Tuesday night, continuing a little on Wednesday, which is exactly what happened.<br /><br />There also seems to be a lot of talk about "tropical storm Keila", which I think is a mis-quote. "Keila" was last year, and the weather front near us now isn't even classified as a "storm". It's just a normal front of low pressure with a bit of resultant rain, and dissipating fast.<br /><br />I remember a couple of years ago someone being locked up for circulating a message that a cyclone was coming. They were right. I wonder what punishment people should get for predicting a cyclone that doesn't exist?The Linoleum Surferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00827051487800854552noreply@blogger.com
