ANKARA—Authorities are warning residents in the Turkish capital to
stay indoors after torrential rain and sleet flooded homes and
underpasses and caused traffic havoc.
The Ankara mayor’s office said the “exceptionally” heavy rain
would last throughout Thursday and warned people to avoid driving
on roads.
Television footage showed workers in diving suits trying to rescue
a van loaded with gas canisters stuck in one underpass. The driver
was not harmed.
Cars were seen sliding on one highway, where sleet had piled up
some 10 centimetres thick.
