The hurricane already hit the eastern part of Oman, and now it's on its way to the capital Muscat!!

the eastern region is currently without electricity, phone lines or even mobile signal...

we are praying that it would pass in peace, as our country hasnt experienced a hurricane before...

backtofront001 · 06-06-2007, 04:39 AM

my best wishes are with you...hopefully the 3 er survives alright

BMW320i · 06-06-2007, 04:40 AM

that's my biggest concern, we are safe in the house but she can be hit by a thrown piece of wood or somthing . . .

Hello - Oman -everything/anything OK?

BMW320i · 06-06-2007, 07:49 PM

BMW320i · 06-06-2007, 07:53 PM

That's right next to my aunt's house!!

325 Baller · 06-06-2007, 08:17 PM

wow thats some serious flooding. I completely know what your going through being that i live in florida and usually get a couple hurricanes a year. Does your house have a backup generator?

BMW320i · 06-06-2007, 08:26 PM

no we dont have a backup generator, but so far the electricity was only cut once during the storm, all we have r some flash lights and some candles "knocking on wood"

BMW320i · 06-06-2007, 08:28 PM

we are bieng hit by a hurricane for the 1st timem everything is new to us

AH · 06-06-2007, 09:36 PM

Hope everybody in Oman is ok. I have some friends working there.... be safe and hope it's over soon. I just went through massive flood in my area last february where all the power was down for a week and we were trapped in the house coz we couldn't go anywhere!

BMW320i · 06-06-2007, 11:59 PM

the sun is out finally

clouds come every now and then but nothing big, guess its over

BLUE LABEL · 06-07-2007, 01:43 AM

i hope the camels and goats are tied down..poor things... Tornadoes can swipe off cows in an instant.

BMW320i · 06-07-2007, 03:03 AM

l0o0l not so many goats in Muscat, and no camels at all, the cyclon hit the capital and the northern region only...

12 deaths so far, and ruins everywhere...

BMW320i · 06-07-2007, 03:18 AM

BLUE LABEL · 06-07-2007, 04:23 AM

how are you able to get so close to take these pictures?

Dammmittt · 06-07-2007, 09:26 AM

It's not that bad of a cyclone...nothing like Katrina. If you live on the east coast you see hurricanes just like it all the time.

Neurorad · 06-07-2007, 09:53 AM

DAMN that's some serious flooding.

Hope you're OK.

Bimmerista · 06-07-2007, 10:02 AM

Some serious damage - and 12 deaths is very unfortunate. Hope all of your familly (and you of course) are OK
