In the village of Karakaya in Nevşehir's Ürgüp district, three people in a car swept by floodwaters and trapped against a bridge were rescued with the help of villagers. In Niğde, cultivated land in some towns was flooded, while heavy rain disrupted traffic in Trabzon and caused a power outage in one neighborhood.
