During the mid june( 19 June 2014), it has shown that the rare tornado event occurred over Marmara Sea and moved the anotolian parts of Istanbul (Tuzla) together with large hails, resulted with damaging homes, downing trees and sending docked boats flying.Many boats on Tuzla's coast were capsized by the powerful winds. A boat, thrown by the tornado, could be seen laying in the yard of a summer house. ıt was observed that 50 kilograms of rain per square meter observed near the Tuzla at the automatic weather station in a short time(one hour).
Interesting point is that, this extreme events such as Tornado, are rarely observed in south part of Turkey,near the Mediterranean Basin. Video can be found;

The 2012 rainy season in Nigeria has been worse than earlier years, and heavy rains at the end of August and the beginning of September led to serious floods in most parts of the country.The Nigeria floods displace two million from their homes, and kill 363. It is so far the worst flooding in 50 years. It caused fears over food supplies as some farmers saw all their crops destroyed and also people were frightened after seeing crocodiles, snakes and even hippopotami inside flooded homes.
