“Unlike Sur and Muscat, fortunately nothing serious happened in Sohar during the Cyclone Gonu's visit to Oman, the tide flooded a number of areas near the sea for a short while and the electricity was down for a couple of hours only, we have no water problems around here. Thieves took the opportunity to steal some houses that were evacuated during the crisis, but that's about it,” reports Blue Chi from Oman.
