Cyclone Gonu

"Cyclone hit the Emirates"
"Destruction in Fujairah"

"Mohammad Ali Sultan, a Fujairah resident said the whole situation reminds him of the Indonesia tsunami. He said: “It’s just like the Tsunami, as water is pushing on slowly from the shore, but it is just beginning, soon it will reach the houses on the other side of the road from the beach”.

I was planning to visit Fujairah yesterday until my client called to postpone the appointment. They have two projects by the sea and the management was sensible enuff to halt the work. And the same guy who called was laughing over the other end..."We are off to the beach to watch the once in a lifetime spectacular!"
The visibility level in Dubai was bad yesterday as well. However, I thought it was much cooler.

The last time I experienced a nerve wrecking storm was in Kurobe, Japan. The wind was so strong that I was literally stuck onto a lamp post for a good 5 minutes...cross my heart, no exaggeration!

Well...i think i should stop working hard for the next couple of days...until Gonu is pacified.

By the way...the stupid guy who went to watch the "spectacular" is still alive.
