BBC NEWS | Middle East | Twenty killed by cyclone in Oman: "At least 20 people were killed when Cyclone Gonu struck the Gulf country of Oman, emergency officials say.

The storm was the strongest to hit the Gulf for decades, damaging buildings and trees in Oman's capital, Muscat, and leaving many roads flooded.

High winds and heavy rain were also reported, and electricity and water supplies were interrupted.

The cyclone has carried on north-west, gradually weakening as it approaches the Iranian coast.

Residents along the coast of southern Iran have moved to higher ground and sought shelter in schools and mosques.

There have been three reported fatalities, when a river in the southern port of Jask burst its banks and floodwater overturned a vehicle." Read complete post here.
