Re: Powerful TC 02A (Gonu) in Arabian Sea
|
Gonu is moving slowly northwest just offshore of eastern Oman, winds down to 80 kts. Expected to continue weakening and pass very close to the capital Muscat in a few hours, then continue to spin down to depression strength by the time it reaches the Strait of Hormuz.
Been checking out some Oman-based forums and some bloggers from that area (several people from there are posting on Jeff Masters blog). Reports are that conditions are deteriorating in Muscat, heavy rain and strong winds, but so far not much damage.
