[adifik]

thats because its been over a year since it happened, i remember the road washed away went there the next day after the hit no one had alot of time for this, i remember we had to get picked up from school early cause the cyclone was coming. apparently there was goin to be a tornado but never happend. they are still building the same road.

[sk84lifelive2sk8]

[templar405]

[OMAN4LIFE]

Oman is rebuilding faster than u think!!!!!!

[49supra]

i lost my car and house but thankx god i'm still alive to watching this

[HemiOman]

man, the most important thing u r still alive and safe :)

[uae9999]

Guys watch out you may be affected by Cyclone 03b currently over Karachi. 14ft waves expected. Please beware.

[EnglishR0se]

funny you should say that, Ive been checking out a website called accuweather & looks like were in for severe winds Thursday and lots & lots of rain. Please keep me updated, as everyone Ive spoken to, thinks Im paranoid after Gonu (maybe I am, but would rather be paranoid than brown bread.

[floriamv]

I will fly next Friday to Muscat from Amsterdam via London to help there.

[EnglishR0se]

thats very kind of you, all help is much appreciated.Indian School Gubrah R fantastic& sending out much needed aid to all communities. Remember a lot of these people were poor before Gonu hit, now their plight is worse as they can not replace lost items. Im touched by so much help and kindness shown by so many people. A lady said to me, "god bless you" to which I replied, he already did. My family all safe and accounted for. Lets have a new motto "It aint Gonu beat us",

gst 1. sorry I cant read Arabic

[qst1]

hi englishrose i say every thing happen in that world by the gad so we are accept every thing & our country will be more beutiful then befor

[EnglishR0se]

Hi back gst1, yes I agree with you, everything in life happens for a reason, we just cant always figure out the reason, but we are all in gods hands and life is one big test, not only of our faith, but believe in others. Allhumdulla, we will rise above Gonu.

[EnglishR0se]

Ive been out & about for 10days now, the only pics I have are in my head. This is so much bigger than being potrayed to the rest of the world. Ive seen such devestation, many missing, many dead, aid still not getting to through to some isolated places. I was in a convoy on Fridayheading towards Quriyat (badly affeected) some villages seen no one

[HemiOman]

me to, i have joined volunitry work since 10 days, and yeah, what i have seen is much worse than those pics in the video. soon i will post another video which has more pics from many cities in Oman. Hopefully Oman will be rebuilt in short time with God's will. Everyone, never stop praying for this beloved country

[EnglishR0se]

we cant change whats happened, but perhaps we can try to benefit, Gonu will go down in the history books as black wednesday, weve all been part of this. Ive thought of a way to raise much needed money for the victims of Gonu. With the permission of all who have shown video footage, make a disc showing the cyclone and ite effects, sell it for say RO5, and give ALL profits to help rebuild lives.Trouble is, Im crap with computors, so any volunteers ?

[HemiOman]

u read my mind :P am already working on it since a time now. still waiting to get more pics from ppl i know. the thing it may take longer time than i expected because the lack of free time i have and the time conflict with my work. but i'll keep u updates

[EnglishR0se]

Im rubbish with computors but let me know if I can be of any help. In yestedays times of Oman, Oman mobile advertising that they are selling download pics, so Ive contacted them to ask where will the money go? as no mention of giving it to charity.will keep you updated

[sharrouk]

salaamat

[raj737]

Sad to see one of the most beautiful & modern city in the world being destroyed by nature !!

[iamnasra]

This is great...I wanted to cry after I saw this

[floriamv]

My god. I have lived in Muscat for 7 years... a wonderful city. A now completely destroyed. I have no words for this.
