Summary

Severe flooding struck Istanbul after the city received more rainfall in 48 hours than the combined historical average for September and October—the heaviest rainfall in over 80 years. The floods swept away cars, sending them crashing into one another. Eight people died, with six deaths in Istanbul and two bodies found in a neighboring province on the city's southeastern outskirts. Search efforts continued for one missing person. Authorities received nearly 20,000 reports of property damage. Earlier reports gave varying death tolls of three, four, and five as the toll rose over the course of the event.
