We’ve got a very sudden dose of The Fear.
This video from the foyer of an office building in Istanbul during a recent rain storm has given us a serious case of the heebie-jeebies.

Freak storms are not new to Istanbul, and this video from the BBC shows a crane toppling over and causing an explosion.
