First of all, I apologize for the stupidest of all names for this cyclone, "Shakti" - It was India's turn to name it. So in their language it I think means strength. Whenever there's a cyclone that's about to hit Pakistan, and if it's India's turn to name it - They give it such terrible names, as it's kind of like wishing us bad. Which outsiders won't understand, but it's a long standing joke between the 2 hostile countries. Because we do the same when it's our turn... Anyway, from what I can see right now, is that it might hit the coast of Oman soon. So Karachi is safe. Which is very disappointing for me, as I needed to test a few of my inventions under extreme conditions... I doubt if we have any members from Oman. But whatever information anybody has, please share it here.
If I tell what I've invented, someone else might copy it - Than shamelessly take credit for it... So not going to let that happen to me (again).
I was hoping our Hurricane Imelda would keep travelling north along the coast and come far enough to give me some rain. Instead it turned northeast, just as humberto did and I didn't get nary a drop of rain. It's over 6weeks without rain here. Maybe it will change course and you'll get lucky.
I am in the blue circle (Karachi city). And cyclone Shakti is in the red circle. Currently off the coast of Oman.
