The center predicted Gonu would make landfall on the southeastern Iranian coast late Thursday. But it was likely to spare Iran's offshore oil installations that lie more than 120 miles to the west, the center and oil officials said.
At least 12 people were killed from the storm in Oman, including members of police rescue squads, and others were reported missing, said Oman Royal Police spokesman Abdullah al-Harthi. He did not provide further details.
Across the Gulf of Oman, Iranian state television reported that a resident of the port city of Bandar Abbas was killed in a car accident Wednesday due to low visibility from the storm.

It is very bad situation in Oman,atleast we pray other parts of world should be safe from these calamities.Rediff your discussion board is worldwide available,even arabs and english people reading this as per my knoweldege.Please stop those non-sense writers and those people who belongs to animal catagory.All nri's in gulf are really hardworkng people who just came here to give good fruit to his family and freinds back in India.
Oman is THE greatest place,especially for Indians.I was there from 1982-1993 and end of 2001-2004.I was with my family and never ever faced any problems of any kind. It is very very unfortunate thing that took place now. I feel very sorry about that,ot only for Indians but also for the Residents/Citizens of Oman.

I agree wth Jayaraman, its the best and a beautiful place to be around in the ME. First of its kind Cyclone to strike the Sultanate since several decades, it has affected normal life, but looks like not much harm to lives as it appears now.
