MUST SEE: Wind brings down construction site in Turkey


Tuesday, September 23, 2014, 10:56 AM - Powerful wind gusts brought the house down in Turkey—quite literally.

Take a look at the impressive video captured by an Istanbul resident as a devastating storm took down the scaffolding from a construction site earlier today.

Five people were injured by the sudden collapse, and at least one vehicle was crushed under the wall.

Due to the debris in the area, traffic was also severely affected as the road had to be closed down for clean up.

In other parts of Turkey, uprooted trees and damaged buildings were also being reported as wind gusts reached speeds of up to 80 km/h.

The situation is expected to ease up as stormy conditions move out of the area later tonight.
