Heavy rainfall has caused floods in Istanbul, inundating roads, underpasses and subway lines and causing havoc in the city.

Several vehicles were stranded in the floodwaters on Tuesday and television footage showed a rescue crew entering an underpass in a rubber boat to help trapped passengers.

The private DHA news agency said people stranded in homes due to flooding in the district of Silivri — one of the worst-hit areas — were also helped out in boats.

The Eurasia Tunnel, connecting Istanbul's Asian and European sides under the Bosporus strait, was temporarily closed to traffic.

Where is the Lagos governor to cash in on Turkish consultancy fees with his vast experience dealing with Lagos floods?

The shoreline on the Bosphorus erased in the Üsküdar neighborhood on the Asian side of Istanbul

The border between the sea and the flooded shores could only be distinguished thanks to the color of the cleaner Bosphorus water

Cars also appeared as if they were cruising on the Bosphorus

Currently happening now ?

Many Istanbulites had to remove their shoes while crossing the road, creating yet another surreal image for a city that was touted as European Capital of Culture in 2010

A gigantic shopping mall in the Bayrampaşa neighborhood on the European side of Istanbul was inaccessible shortly after it started to rain in the afternoon

Bridges and overpasses turned into artificial waterfalls

Opposition now has more ammunition to criticize the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) for its urban management, weeks after its victory in March 30 local elections. Pro-government social media users, however, argued that heavy rain is a blessing now, considering the preceding drought that threatened Istanbul with water cuts this summer:

Wow

See how their flood water clean; person fit even use am bath... no pure water sachets swimming. ..

So no be only lekki. This one sha na die

Where are those critics who were laughing at Lagos for experiencing the same thing, so a country as developed as Turkey cannot withstand heavy rain without flood occurring?
