Tropical Cyclone Mekunu's Destruction in Oman, Yemen (PHOTOS)

Tropical Cyclone Mekunu made landfall overnight Saturday in Oman as a Category 3 hurricane equivalent storm, dumping nearly two years' worth of rain in a single day on one of the country's most populous cities.

Officials said Monday that at least 13 deaths have been confirmed, and flooding persisted at the beginning of the week.

Saturday night's landfall near Salalah brought winds in excess of 100 mph to Oman's third-largest city, making Mekunu one of the strongest tropical cyclones on record to make landfall in southern Oman.

"It was a scary feeling, as if it was the end of world," Mohammed Omer Baomer, of Oman, told the Associated Press. "You can't even go outside. You try to watch from the window and you can't."
