Okay - sorry for the alarm. It may have been clouds. It sure did look like smoke coming out. :). I had a friend call and ask what was going on and when we looked it looked very much like smoke... I guess clouds are too rare in Dubai. :)

eta how odd! Just went back onto twitter to look at the pic again and the tweet is gone!
