I've seen a report of one body washing ashore. The government evacuated more than 20,000 people.

Exclusive--Please credit The Oil Drum and Chuck Watson of KAC/UCF. KAC/UCF and Chuck Watson are forecasting, based on their damage models, that the Qalhat (Sur) LNG terminal will be out for 20-30 days and the Mina al Fahal oil terminal will be down for 10-20 days--all of this assuming they are built to US standards. (NB: These damage estimates have decreased a bit since the last model run...and assume US construction standards.)

1. Thanks for the pictures. I posted some news articles/links earlier. (here)

The lack of tree debris is odd, seems the biggest trouble is with the rain and flooding, though it will take a bit for the outlying areas to report in.
