Story summary

A tornado struck a construction site in Antalya, southern Turkey, late on Monday, killing at least four workers and injuring one more. The violent winds hurled two accommodation containers into the air and toppled a tower crane that did not cause any additional casualties. Two of the fatalities occurred at the scene while two died later in hospital according to Governor Hulusi Şahin who noted it was "an exceptionally localised phenomenon." Meanwhile, heavy rain from the same weather system flooded streets in Pendik and Tuzla, areas of Istanbul, where a father and daughter were rescued by passers-by after their car became trapped in floodwaters. This incident follows another severe rainfall event on October 14 that killed eight people around Istanbul.
