This satellite image provided by NOAA and acquired Wednesday June 6, 2007 at 13:30 GMT shows Cyclone Gonu over the Arabian Sea. Oman evacuated tens of thousands of people Wednesday, suspended oil exports and closed a major port as a weakening Cyclone Gonu roared toward the Strait of Hormuz- the world's major transport artery for Persian Gulf oil.

Hopefully this will end up being Tehran’s Katrina, only 10 fold in magnitude.

as winds of 62 mph battered the capital

I know that for the land (flooding/flow of ground water) and infrastructure over there it might a big deal, but Here in FL, 62 mph is just an excuse for a Hurricane Party.

I wonder if the displaces will get free trailers and cash cards to spend on hookers and booze like Katrina had...

Likely so, I’m sure Hugo and Fidel are even now getting aid ready to go for their friends about to get deluged.

It will be interesting to see how much damage , if any, is sustained... and as usual , we will have offers of aid and assistance extended to those affected.
