Hello and greetings, my friends.
Due to the heavy downpour that intensified across Istanbul, flooding unfortunately occurred in metro stations and underpasses in Esenler, Zincirlikuyu, and Topkapı.
While streets and avenues in Sarıyer and Kağıthane were submerged under rising rainwater, Alibey Stream overflowed in Arnavutköy, leaving several vehicles underwater.
On another note, schools throughout Istanbul have been suspended for tomorrow due to severe weather conditions. I extend my sincere get well wishes to all my fellow Istanbulites affected by the heavy rain.
Mehmet Ali Arslan
