🇴🇲 Severe Thunderstorm and Flash Flooding in Oman — July 15, 2025

🌧⚡️ On the evening of July 15, 2025, a powerful thunderstorm struck Nizwa and surrounding areas in Oman, bringing intense winds, lightning, and torrential rain that led to localized flooding and hazardous road conditions.

💧 As a result of the heavy rainfall, Wadi al-Maddam in Al-Hamra suddenly overflowed, sending a strong rush of water through the dry riverbed. Videos show fast-moving floodwaters sweeping across roads and threatening nearby structures.

⚠️ Local authorities are urging residents to stay cautious, avoid crossing wadis, and remain indoors unless absolutely necessary.
