Over the years the frequency of hurricanes, storms and cyclone lashing across the globe seems to have increased. We had Katrina doing the destruction cours three years ago. This year its Gustav who is doing the damage. In all likelyhood, hurricane Ike which is fast becoming a category 4, will soon be making headway for the American coasts. And its not over yet. Tropical storm hanna may well be on her way to the coasts too!

This is the cyclonic storm that lashed at the Gulf Coast recently. Oman and Iran were affected most. It left a trail of destruction and deaths on its way. Gonu caused millions in damages and claimed many lives in the area. Indians and many expats are among the allegedly dead and missing. Here are the photos and videos of the fury of the hurricane and after.
