--I can say with confidence that this forecaster has never seen the likes of this: a Category 4 (130 knots, or 240 kph) hurricane over the northern Arabian Sea. The wind speeds are estimated (as of 0600 Hours GMT) by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC). A look at full-disk infrared imagery (from the India Met. Dept.--IMD) helps to afford better perspective on TC Gonu and South Asia:

Too bad it’s not headed for Iran.

They’re already planning a book about it - “Gonu With the Wind.”

Rove has perfected his weather machine. Katrina was a test run.

This explains the big pop in the oil service companies, drillers, CVX, BP and the rest.
XOM didn’t participate in the rally. No floor under it.

Maybe we’ll get lucky and it will blow in Iran.

Hopefully, the US naval commanders in the area will show more common sense than did Adm. Halsey.

Except it will probably be down to tropical storm strength by then.

It definately looks like it could scrape Iran at final landfall. Shame it will lose a couple of Cats near Muscat..
