Due to the heavy rain affecting Ankara, two apartments in the Mamak district were flooded.
As the thunderstorm intensified in the late afternoon, puddles formed on the roads, causing vehicles to struggle in traffic. In the higher areas of Çankaya, hail turned the surroundings white. ASKİ teams worked to open the drains in areas where water had accumulated.
SEVERE DAMAGE IN FLOODED HOUSES
In the Mamak district, two apartments on the entrance floor of a four-story building on Uzgörenler Street were flooded after the heavy rain hit the city. Upon notification of the situation, police and fire crews were dispatched to the scene. While the teams drained the water from the apartments, damage occurred to the belongings.
"THE INSIDE OF THE HOUSE IS LIKE A LAKE"
Özgür Şener, who said he came to the scene after his mother's house was flooded, expressed that they had experienced the same situation before. Stating that their belongings were rendered unusable in the previous flood, Şener said:
"Every time it rains, our house gets flooded. We threw away all our belongings before. We renewed our belongings. This is the second time it has flooded. We were not at home. Our neighbors informed us. When we got home, it was completely filled with water. The inside of the house is like a lake. My mother is old and was alone at home. She is crying downstairs. Her morale is quite low."
