As the rain poured down like a bucket, citizens sought shelter in closed areas, and after a while, the rainwater turned into a flood.
HOUSES AND WORKPLACES WERE FLOODED
Due to the heavy rain, puddles formed on the streets and avenues, and some houses and workplaces were flooded. Vehicles struggled to move through the water that accumulated on the roads, and some vehicles were stranded. With the overflow of the manholes, the streets and avenues became unusable.
VEHICLES WERE SWEPT AWAY
The stream in Mustafa Kemal Atatürk Neighborhood overflowed due to the rain. A car that was swept away got stuck in the barriers by the stream due to the rising water. As the floodwaters swept away vehicles, the gardens of the houses were completely submerged.
