A rare tropical cyclone has caused widespread flooding on Yemen's southeastern coast. Ahmed al-Junaidi, a resident of al-Shihr in Hadramaut province, tells us what it was like in the moments before and after the storm. We also hear from Mohamed Bataweel about the situation in Mukala, the provincial capital. Mohamed Bataweel is in Saudi Arabia, but has managed to contact his family in Mukala despite phone lines being down.
