Abu Dhabi: Abu Dhabi authorities are preparing for a full state of emergency due to the cyclone travelling across the coast of Oman.

“All officers will be on call 24 hours until the cyclone passes and we are out of danger,” a source told Gulf News.

Meanwhile some residents, residing in the Northern emirates like Al Fujairah, Dibba and Kalba are considering moving to Dubai away from the coastal area until the cyclone subsides.

Mohamed Ali, a Fujairah resident said: “Water has reached the streets and I am considering moving my family to Dubai away from the sea.”

Another Fujairah resident said that authorities have closed down the road leading to his house. “Water from the sea has reached the road and is slowly increasing. I have no way of getting to my house in Mirbh”

A resident in Dibba said that the water has reached his house.“At around 1pm, water reached the doorstep of our house and a while later, it went into the house.

"I wont leave my house because this is the first time that for me to witness a cyclone in the UAE and I would like to watch. I am sending my family away however."
