Amazing the internet that lets me watch at NowPublic where people around Muscat post photos of their homes and neighborhoods... my old haunts. Massive waves breaking over the Corniche in old Muscat. The old souq must be flooded. I hope the vendors got their things to high ground. At least one of the kiosks on the shoreline was demolished.
It brings it home when you used to live in a place being hit. Fortunately it had dropped from the Category 4 to a Category 1 by the time it hit the Muscat area.
I filled my gas tank today... the Strait of Hormuz will be closed to traffic for a few more days. And you know how they use any excuse to gouge us.

I read the article--that is very scary. I'm guessing it has something to do with global warming?
VS: Surreal, isn't it? The waves were meant to be 12 feet high on the corniche.
I don't have to fill the tank often these days, so I don't feel the poke as bad as others.
Eva: I'm not sure. I thought they said this hasn't happened for 60 some years, so whether it's normal weather pattern or not...
There has been no storm of this magnitude in this part of the world since records have been kept from about 1945. Prior to that, there is no way to know whether it happens every 50 years or 100 years or never before.
I don't think that there is any evidence to suggest that it either was or wasn't caused by global warming.
