Heavy Winds in Maldives



On my way to India - The kind of clouds I saw from the Island Aviation flight in which I was traveling was really something to get scared off. Even that day while watching them and snapping pictures, I was wondering isn't this something like a hurricane because it was directly getting connected down and maybe no one is aware of it because we dont have hurricane tracking systems in our region. Similarly there was no earlier Tsunami warning equipments installed anywhere until it struck without any prior warnings.

Now I wonder, is this heavy winds that are approaching the tiny island where I belong it - just a trailor of what we are yet to face in the coming days or is it just a warning that gear up - I am going to hit you at any moment.

Unlike in New Orleans, we dont have such a well equiped MET department who can say that at this time the hurricane/tornado/twister or just too damn heavy winds going to hit on this particular zone. Maybe I am been stupid here, maybe the stallelite is tracking and keeping a record. Maybe I am too anxious and maybe I am too bored in this lone some country that I am writing all this craps.

But I would surely share the pictures I took on 16th July 2008.
