In Yalova, where the downpour was effective, an elderly woman who took action without waiting for the authorities to arrive worked almost like a municipal employee. The selflessness of the woman, who used the cane in her hand to clear the leaves blocking the water channels, was appreciated by the surrounding citizens.
During the heavy rain and storm that affected Yalova, the sensitivity shown by an elderly woman who wanted to prevent the streets from being covered with water warmed the hearts of those who saw it. Paying no heed to the rain and cold weather, the elderly woman went out into the street with her cane in hand and struggled alone to prevent flooding.
SHE CLEANED THE DRAINS ONE BY ONE WITH HER CANE
Amid the astonished and admiring gazes of those around her, the elderly woman approached the drains on the sidewalk and began cleaning the dried leaves and piles of garbage blocking the grates with the tip of her cane. As the blockage was cleared, the heavy rainwater accumulated along the edge of the sidewalk began to flow rapidly into the channels.
SHE WARMED THE HEARTS OF ONLOOKERS AND EARNED ADMIRATION
Those moments, watched in astonishment by passersby and vehicles, were recorded second by second with a mobile phone camera from a nearby building. The footage of the elderly woman, who earned admiration with this great example of responsibility despite her age and adverse weather conditions, quickly became one of the most watched on social media.
