Weather of Arabia - The Hajj hashtag is at the forefront in Oman and the Arabian Gulf via Twitter, the micro-blogging platform "Twitter" in the Sultanate of Oman, and dozens of video clips and photos documented the volume of floods left by the rains resulting from the depression.
Most of the wilayats of the Sultanate of Oman witnessed heavy rains that led to massive floods that swamped public streets and caused material damage to some public facilities and private properties.
Heavy rain cut off some of the main roads, where the “Oman Al-Hadath” account said: “19 people, including 10 children, were rescued from a rest house in Wadi Al-Arabiyin in the Wilayat of Quriyat, after they could not be reached due to the strong flow of valleys, and they were transferred to a safe place, all of them are in good health.”
Bad weather caused a power outage, today, to the main water pumping station in the Wilayat of Tyre, which feeds the Tyre, Jalan and North Al Sharqiyah governorates, and the Mazoon Electricity Company specialists are working to restore the power supply.
It is worth noting that the Omani authorities have activated the sub-committee of the National Emergency Management Committee in South Al Sharqiyah Governorate to follow up on all developments related to the weather situation with the participation of all concerned sectors, amid expectations of continued rain in the coming days.
