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.

The Best News I have heard all day. Maybe Osama gets caught when he scurries from the mountains.
