Hi scyth,
Those were fascinating pictures. It would have been externally considerate though, to translate some of the captions, or maybe include a summary of how long the storm lasted and/or what the effects were on Ankara. Were there power outages, or flooding or other unusual events along with all the lightening? This gives more data points to those on the forum who are particularly tracking weather events.
Is Ankara usually subject to such storms in the summer?
