Cloud over Dubai


There was a BIG FIRE in the Jebel Ali Free Zone this morning. I thought it was rain clouds when I looked out my window this morning but weather.com said clear skies, although the satellite showed a huge cloud over Dubai. As I came down Sheik Zayad Road it became obvious that there was a huge conflagration at JAFZ. It was in a warehouse next to Dubai Petroleum we evacuated our people in one of our buildings located nearer the fire/explosion site (by the time they were evacuated, they could have stayed though). The explosion this morning blew debris 1000 meters into the air.
