Tropical cyclone Phet Wed Jun 2, :45am EDT MUSCAT (Reuters) - Tropical cyclone Phet barreled toward the coast of the Gulf Arab state of Oman on Wednesday, strengthening quickly on its way to becoming a powerful category five storm. Phet was a Category 3 storm on Wednesday, with sustained winds of over 130 mph. It was expected to become a Category 5 storm, the most powerful with winds of over 156 mph,

CYCLONE RATINGS

One One mph No real damage to building structures. Damage primarily to unanchored mobile homes, shrubbery, and trees. Also, some coastal road flooding and minor pier damage

Two Two mph Some roofing material, door, and window damage to buildings. Considerable damage to vegetation, mobile homes, and piers. Coastal and low- lying escape routes flood 2-4 hours before arrival of center. Small craft in unprotected anchorages break moorings.

Three Three mph Some structural damage to small residences and utility buildings with a minor amount of curtain wall failures. Mobile homes are destroyed. Flooding near the coast destroys smaller structures with larger structures damaged by floating debris. Terrain continuously lower than 5 feet Above Sea Level (ASL) may be flooded inland 8 miles or more.

Four Four mph More extensive curtain wall failures with some complete roof structure failure on small residences. Major erosion of beach. Major damage to lower floors of structures near the shore. Terrain continuously lower than 10 feet ASL may be flooded requiring massive evacuation of residential areas inland as far as 6 miles

Five Five greater than 155 mph Complete roof failure on many residences and industrial buildings. Some complete building failures with small utility buildings blown over or away. Major damage to lower floors of all structures located less than 15 feet ASL and within 500 yards of the shoreline. Massive evacuation of residential areas on low ground within 5 to 10 miles of the shoreline may be required.

Storm Surge Though people remember hurricanes for their tempestuous winds and heavy rainfall, the most deadly aspect of these storms is what is known as Storm Surge. As these hurricanes move about in the ocean, their deep pressure core churns up the ocean and actually plows the water ahead of it. Normally in open water this resembles terribly rough seas, but it becomes an entirely different scenario when faced with a fixed land mass.
