Summary

Heavy rainfall hit Istanbul and neighboring provinces on October 14-15, 2026, described as the heaviest precipitation in over 80 years. The downpour turned streets into rivers and flooded homes and workplaces, with the floods sweeping away cars that crashed into one another. Nine people died according to the latest official count, with one person reported missing in some earlier accounts. Authorities received nearly 20,000 reports of property damage, with approximately 2,000 homes and 900 businesses suffering serious damage. The flooding affected Istanbul, Kocaeli, and five other provinces including Yalova, Bursa, Sakarya, and Antalya. Insurance firms allocated approximately $40 million to address losses from the disaster.
