Cyclone Gonu
This satellite image provided by NASA and acquired Wedneday June 6, 2007 at 10:15 a.m. local time shows Cyclone Gonu over the Arabian Sea and the northeastern coast of Oman. Gonu battered Oman's coast Wednesday with fierce winds and torrential rains, forcing thousands from their homes and shutting down oil installations before heading toward the world's most important crude oil tanker route. The storm was expected to 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.
