Cyclone Gonu

The following pictures has got nothing to do with the best-pictures-of-the-century category, for it shows how devastating and catastrophic a cyclone can be.

The photographs of the devastation wrought by Cyclone Gonu in the Sultanate of Oman are simply distressing and upsetting. A lovely paradise, having thousands of years of colourful history, with the record of the longest reigning royal lineage in the Middle East, with Muscat holding the credit of being the only capital city in the world with the Tropic of Cancer passing through it, is now partly littered by debris and wreckage.

Our sympathies go out to everyone who suffered the loss in whatever way.
