Turkey: Floods Plague Istanbul

By Larry Habegger | Permalink | No Comments | September 16th, 2009 | Trackback

Flash floods caused by torrential rains hit areas of Istanbul Sept. 9, inundating roads in the Ikitelli district and killing at least 14 in the metropolitan area. The principal tourist area of Sultanahmet and the Taksim business district escaped significant damage. The flooding affected roads between these districts and the international airport, and further disruption is possible. The weather has cleared but more rain is forecast.
