According to BBC Arabic:
“The authorities in Oman evacuated 7000 persons to safer locations. They say it’s currently in the Arabic sea and they expect it to hit the east cost of Oman as well as a small island called ‘Massira’ in the next 30 Hours (updated on 5 June at 7:47 GMT) at a speed of 110 Miles/Hr.
Maybe this will affect the navigation on the harbors, which may increase the oil price…”
The link is in Arabic, and if someone is interested to read it from original source, it’s here.
I have Yahoo weather widget and it also says that Dubai is expected to be affected by “isolated thunderstorms” tomorrow.
