Cyclone Phet Whipping up Wind and Waves at Fujairah

By mid-afternoon Friday 4 June the crowds were coming out on the Fujairah corniche to watch the waves which were increasing in height.

By 7.00pm the skies had blackened, some occasional showers were falling, the wind was driving hard off the sea and the onlookers were everywhere enjoying the spectacle.

The roads quickly congested and police cars with their flashing lights were out in force helping the vehicles to flow.
