ASTONISHING SCENE AFTER THE DOWNPOUR
After the rains in Istanbul, where many homes and workplaces were submerged and vehicles were swept away by floodwaters, the garbage container in Beşiktaş also being dragged by the water current became one of the extraordinary images the downpour created in the city.
LIFE WAS PARALYZED ACROSS THE CITY
The heavy downpour that was effective in Istanbul on October 14 paralyzed life across the city. Due to the rains that continued throughout the day and intensified in the evening, many avenues, streets, underpasses, and tunnels were submerged. Vehicles caught in the floodwaters were dragged while water flooded homes and workplaces. Two people lost their lives in the flood disaster in the city.
The downpour, especially effective in Sarıyer, Eyüpsultan, and Kağıthane, caused large-scale flooding. In Sarıyer's Ayazağa neighborhood, vehicles caught in the floodwaters piled on top of each other, while 65 people stranded in Eyüpsultan Kemerburgaz were rescued by fire crews. In Kağıthane, the historic Sadabad Mosque was flooded as a result of the stream overflowing. In many places, vehicles became unusable while citizens experienced difficult moments.
After the rains, traces left by the flood emerged in different parts of Istanbul. Roads covered in mud, workplaces submerged, and damaged vehicles revealed the scale of the disaster. While teams continue water drainage, cleaning, and damage assessment work, the effects of the heavy rain in the city continue.
