The flooding is going to be incredible. I worked in SA after Pinatubo blew and the kingdom received almost 10 inches of winter rain (record). The flooding in areas was amazing as was the subsequent greening of the desert. I would not wish this storm on any of the gulf states.

After brushing and devestating Oman, it is now projected at Cat 2 lanfall on Iran

It will come ashore between Jask and Bandar Behsstri in Iran, a grazing and herding area with little urban developments except small towns and villages. The population density is 0-50 per square mile.

But, as PA Engineer says, the floods will be horrific as the Central Makran Range runs behind all that coastal area. The storm will absolutely sump as it rises to surmount those coastal mountains and like Central America, we can expects mud-slide devestation of this region on a scale unknown in its modern history.

Pakistan, to the east, will be impacted as well by the outer parts of the storm.
