The lightning strike, which hit with a loud bang, caused material damage to the building's roof and the apartment belonging to Cihan Çelikörs on the 10th floor. Due to the force of the strike, damage first occurred on the roof, and a large hole was also created in the apartment's living room. It was learned that no one was in the apartment at the time. However, the apartment owner, who returned home after the power went out, was in great shock at the scene he encountered. Fire department crews arrived at the scene following reports from apartment residents and conducted inspections in the area where the lightning struck.

"IT EXPLODED LIKE A BOMB" 

Stating that no one was home when the lightning struck, apartment owner Cihan Çelikörs said, "Around 1:30 PM, a lightning bolt struck, a hole formed in the apartment's roof, and the building's electrical system collapsed. The ceiling in the house was punctured, the booster pump isn't working, and there is no water. Electronic devices are also not working. I was at the construction site at the time; there was no one at home. The lightning sounded like a huge explosion," he said.
