Cyclone Phet weakend from category 4 to 3 then further weakened into a tropical storm of category 1 when it hit the sharqiya (east) coast of Oman..
It was less powerful than the cyclone Gonu that hit Oman on 6/6/2007 but it still caused 24 deaths (one of them is a civil defence personnel who was killed while trying to rescue a family in Muscat) and devastating conditions specially in areas such as Sur, Masirah, Al ashkhara and Qurayat where people were evacuated and fleed their flooded houses..We were not much affected al hamdulilah in Muscat and the other regions but the rain poured all over the sultanate of Oman..
Aftermath:

Inna lilahee wa inna ilayhaee ra'joun. I haven't been reading the news lately and I didn't know that 24 people passed away. May Allah grant their families patience and yaqeen to get through this. May He forgive their sins and grant them jannatul firduas.
Alhamdillah your area was not affected much.
