At least five people have died and three have disappeared after heavy rains hit Turkey's northeast Black Sea coast.
Major rain clouds caused floods and landslides.
The heavy clouds especially hit the province of Riza, causing a number of homes to collapse, the AP reports.
The heavy rains also closed access to dozens of villages and cut power.
The body of a 75-year-old woman was found among the ruins of her three-story house in the Muradie district of Rize, while her husband and another man were reported missing.
The Turkish Black Sea region is often hit by devastating rains and torrential floods.
Major cloudfall also led to floods in Belgium and Germany, in which thousands of homes were destroyed and dozens lost their lives.
