In Your Opinion ... Do you think that "Gonu" is:
1. Another Sign of Global Warming
2. Weather Modification / Weather Wars
3. Wrath of God for Iran's destroy Isreal Agenda
4. Business as Usual, nothing to see here.
Easy. Business as usual, although perhaps with a small helping of global warming ...

Oman on high alert as cyclone nears
Roche said that Gonu is forecast to hit Oman with sustained winds of around 185km per hour, before moving north over the Gulf of Oman into southern Iran. With those wind speeds, the storm would be the strongest cyclone to hit the Arabian Peninsula in recorded history since 1945, he said.

I mean i understand you guys saying that it could be a 100 year storm...but has ot ever happened BEFORE, or are you just talking ourt your ... lack of information?

As you can see, tropical storms do occur in this area. However there's no question that Gonu is a lot more intense than any previously recorded this close to the Gulf.
I'm not sure how far back accurate records go though - probably 100 years? - so one can't really say whether such intense storms have commonly affected the region in the more distant past or not.

I have read many posts over the years on this site about HAARP and Weather Manipulation and have seen many newer videos recently about Tesla and his relation to the HAARP project. I always had my questions about whether this is actually possible but considering Bush is not willing to go to War soon with Iran this may be the best situation he could ask for or ORDER to happen.
Looking forward to hear other members thoughts.

Kuklon??? Did you just make that up?
From Greek kuklōn, present participle of kukloun, to rotate, from kuklos, circle
The word cyclone appears to have been coined by a Captain Hanry Piddington, who used it to refer to the storm that blew a freighter in circles in Mauritius in February of 1845.[3] Tropical cyclones are then circular wind storms that form in the tropics. It may have been derived from the Greek word kyklon, which means moving in a circle.[4][5] Some say that Piddington derived the word from the Greek word cyclos, meaning "coils of a snake", in comparison with the tropical storms in the Bay of Bengal and in the Arabian Sea.[6] Others argue that the word was derived from Cyclops, a creature in Greek mythology with one eye, as it is 'turning wind with one eye'.[7]
And here is Proof that Gonu means Knees or to Kneel
