Powerful TC 02A (Gonu) in Arabian Sea

If you haven't checked the North Indian Ocean in a while, might want to take a look at Tropical Cyclone 2A, known as Gonu. NRL shows the storm at 140 kts and 898 mb. Currently expected to landfall over eastern Oman in a couple days, but some models show the storm recurving north toward Iran. It is expected to weaken as it entrains dry air and may be only around cat 1 at landfall.

I'm certainly no historian but would have to guess this is one of the strongest storms on record in this part of the Indian Ocean.
