After the earthquake in the Iskenderun district of Hatay, the sea overflowed once again in the storm due to the collapse and liquefaction of the ground on the coastline. With the effect of rain and storm, while the coastline and the boulevard were under water, a fire broke out from the electrical contact when a business was surrendered to the water.
This time, a storm hit the Iskenderun district of Hatay, one of the cities most damaged by the Kahramanmaraş-centered earthquakes.
After the collapse and liquefaction of the ground on the coastline in the earthquake, sea flooding began to occur in strong winds and storms. The coastline, where the sea overflowed twice before, and Atatürk Boulevard were repeated today.
The strong wind and storm warned by the meteorology created huge waves in the sea. A fire broke out from an electrical contact in a cafe that was submerged by the flooding of the coastline and the waves. Fire crews extinguished the fire. Part of the business was destroyed in the fire. Another cafe on the beach was the target of waves as the storm intensified, and the employees had a hard time. It was stated that the severe storm in the Iskenderun Bay continued its effect in the region.
Citizens, who stated that the sea overflowed again, noted that the boulevard and workplaces were flooded with the storm.
