Associated Press report that there is flash flooding in
Istanbul and other parts of Turkey and the country has sustained
high casualties and some have lost their lives. Its cited as worse than any other disaster to hit Turkey this century and I know from experience ... I was in the big
earthquake in 1999 ... it must be bad if its worse than the 99 Earthquake.
Some Bulgarians are lost in the
flooding and there is concern about their safety as they so far produced no news other than missing persons.
There are illustrative pictures of people waterdeep last week in Istanbul and now in other parts of Turkey. I hope for better news on Istanbul and other places in Turkey ... its a big job cleaning up after flash flooding and we have had flooding here in the UK ... we remain unaffected as one lives on the top of the hill in Southampton .. Nob Hill .. to quote from the poet, and playwright present amidst all this chaos in the world .......... thanks AP ... hard work!
