Turkey storm: Man evades falling concrete in high winds
A security camera footage caught the terrifying moment of a man narrowly escaping from concrete falling from a rooftop in Turkey's western city of Izmir on Monday following a severe storm.
Pieces of concrete – believed to have been dislodged by high winds – fell from a building undergoing reconstruction and the man ducked out of the way seconds before the concrete smashed into a car he had been leaning against.
The strong winds caused sea waters to overflow, submerging a tram station and seafront roads.
Officials said at least four people died and dozens were injured as a result of the storm battering parts of western Turkey.

TurKEY-bits: Izmir celebrated the 100th anniversary of the liberation with Tarkan concert
The 100th anniversary of the liberation of #İzmir, in western #Turkey, from Greek occupation in 1922, was celebrated with a concert by popstar #Tarkan.
It is thought that 2 million people attended the concert in Izmir, which is considered one of the strongholds of secularism in Turkey.
Tarkan, whose recent song “Geccek” (This will pass) became hugely popular among secular opposition as it is thought to symbolize the end of the reign of President Tayyip Erdogan, stayed on the scene for two and a half hours.
At the end of his concert, Tarkan made the following remarks, referring to the political polarization in the country:
“Don't worry about everything. Life is too short. You see, my scene was destroyed. Life is never clear you never know what will happen. Everything can change suddenly. That's why you need to know the value of every moment. You have to live each day like it's your last. We have to love each other. We must not break, we must be united. We must live in peace. We are such a nation, we need to catch it again.”

Ferry transportation between Izmir and ThessalonikiTwin cities have a ferry
The first ferry trip between Izmir and Thessaloniki.
119 passengers, 2 trucks, 5 cars, and 2 motorcycles were transported on the ferry, which has the banner "#İzmir-#Thessaloniki Friendship Line" in Turkish and Greek.
The timing of the commissioning of the ferry connecting the two Aegean coastal cities is interesting in that it coincides with a period of heightened political tension between the two countries.
Turkey and Greece, both NATO allies, have been increasingly at odds over a string of issues, including the status of the Aegean islands.
Turkey accuses Greece for militarizing its islands and building American bases in violation of international treaties.
At the 4th Turkey-Greece High Level Cooperation Council held in Izmir in 2016, Prime Minister of Turkey Ahmet Davutoglu and Prime Minister of Greece at the time, Alexis Tsipras, announced to the public that the said line would be opened and the work had started.
However, the development of said line was hampered by the course of Ankara-Athens relations and the coronavirus pandemic.
The first trip between Thessaloniki and Izmir took 13 hours.
Ticket prices were determined as 81 euros and 95 euros.
Since the two cities are culturally and structurally similar, the similarity makes the ferry transport even more interesting.

Turkey earthquake – Massive 7.0 quake rocks Izmir ‘triggering tsunami’
A POWERFUL earthquake has rocked Turkey as it destroyed buildings and triggered a tsunami that swept through coastal towns.
The quake registered a 7.0 of the Richter scale and had its epicentre 11 miles north of the island of Greek island Samos off the coast of Turkey.
At least 20 buildings in Izmir, a Turkish city with a population of 4.4million, are said to have collapsed, Mayor Tunc Soyer told CNN Turk.
Rescue efforts are already underway as scores of people are feared dead - but there no official figures on victims.
The emergency authority said it sent search and rescue teams to Izmir.
The US Geological survey said the enormous tremor was felt as far away as Athens and Istanbul.
People flooded onto the streets in the tourist city, witnesses said, after the quake struck.
A magnitude 7.6 tremor struck the city in 1999 killing 17,000 people.
Some two million foreign tourists visit Izmir every year, according to data from the Aegean Touristic Enterprises and Accommodation Union.
The quake was also felt across the eastern Greek islands and tsunami warnings were issued to many beachgoers.
Pictures and video posted on social media shows large clouds of dust rising over the city following the earthquake.
Other videos and pictures show surging sea water in Izmir province flowing into coastal towns.
People are seen running for their lives after as the apparent tsunami rushed in following the earthquake.
The quake struck at around 11.50am GMT and was felt along Turkey's Aegean coast and the northwestern Marmara region.
Turkeys Disaster and Emergency Management Presidency said Friday's earthquake was centered in the Aegean at a depth of 10.3 miles.
