Tropical Cyclone Gonu

You might expect to see a storm with near-perfect symmetry and a well-defined eye hovering over the warm waters of the Caribbean or in the South Pacific, but Tropical Cyclone Gonu showed up in an unusual place. On June 4, 2007, Tropical Cyclone Gonu was approaching the northeastern shore of Oman, a region better known for hot desert conditions.
