Typhoon Phet and Oman


Pic 1- 3rd June 2010
The Typhoon Phet has already left the shores of our Oman, even while I am typing out this blog. For me the perspective of the Phet was what I was going through perched up in my apartment in the middle of the Muscat city. The summary is, it was awesome.

Phet was rated as a Cat3 typhoon but as it touched the Omani shores, to the relief, of everyone it was downgraded to a Cat1. So as it crawled into the country, it bought rains all over the Northeastern side of Oman. It stuck Muscat during early morning hours of 4th June 2010. It rained the whole day and today the 5th I see bright clear skies and also a sat imagery which shows it travelling to our neighbor Pakistan.
