Extreme floods resulting from one of the heaviest ever documented rain storms over several urbanized coastal sub-districts in north-central Türkiye in August 2021, caused severe destruction, considerable property damage and tens of casualties. Peak discharges following the event were mostly greater than the projected 50-year and 100-year ones. This study aimed to examine the causes and consequences of this catastrophic event that occurred in the sub-districts of Bozkurt and Catalzeytin within Kastamonu, and Ayancik within Sinop provinces. Real-time 24-h precipitation follow-up by two neighboring Doppler Radar stations disclosed the spatial distribution of the phenomenon as it unfolded. Relative damages that occurred within each district following the event were evaluated, taking into account the meteorological, topographical and hydrological variables. Steadily increasing precipitation from 0 mm/h at …
