I think I just saw a leaf blow past my window, and I got some water on my shoe on the walk to work. I, for one, am glad they closed all schools today.

Standby, standby, I think I can see some clouds. Wave height is at least 4 cm now. Clear the beaches.

I have a drop on my glasses. WHAT DO I DO?

I've got a presentation to do on site later and I'm being warned it might be cancelled because of the treachery of the journey.

For God's sake man, get inside NOW, preferably under ground.

We took the cushions in last night, just in case. I'm going to have to stand and smoke later as a continued 'just in case' preparation for disaster.

Maybe you're right. Sleep in the car in the basement. No, there might be flooding, the mezzanine level. Dry, safe, enclosed.

STAY STRONG

Don't forget to mark yourself safe on Facebook: saves those back home from worrying. They don't know what we're going through!

Does anyone need a care package sent? Umbrellas, life rafts, an Ark?

Dammit. We left the cushions outside.

Haven't had much here in Masafi either so far. Just a few quick showers. Looking on the NOAA weather app its more up in RAK today and DXB will get some tomorrow morning.
