The summer storm led to downed trees, a partially destroyed stone wall, and a port explosion, according to The Associated Press.

But perhaps the scariest bit of footage shared online was video of an explosion caused by the storm, which was likely caused by strong winds sweeping in off the water.

According to the AP, a crane fell onto oil barrels at a port, leading to the explosion and subsequent fire. It led to at least one injury.
The storm brought the Turkish metropolis to a standstill at rush hour, even closing the Eurasia Tunnel, which connects Asia with Europe under the Bosporus strait. It's the second time in a little more than a week that a violent deluge has disrupted the city.
While severe thunderstorms are local events subject to natural variability, climate change is already increasing the odds of heavy downpours around the world. This trend is expected to continue during the next few decades, with more rain falling in shorter, heavier bursts in many parts of the world. This will challenge the capacity of cities like Istanbul to adapt to more frequent flash flood events.
