The tornado that hit Kumluca traveled a path of 7.46 miles, and the width of its path of destruction was 230-262.5 feet. It knocked down trees, damaged agricultural fields and greenhouses, shattered windows of houses, and ripped off the roof of the Kumluca Forest Management building.

Preliminary estimates indicate that 300 hectares of greenhouses belonging to 102 farmers in various areas were damaged, along with 20 vehicles and 15 structures. The tornado also damaged numerous solar panels. One of the panels, torn off the roof by the wind, fell onto a car with a child inside, resulting in minor injuries.

As a result of the tornado, six people were injured. Four separate waterspouts formed at sea near Incekum in Alanya, in the morning approximately 492 feet from the shore. Fortunately, they did not reach the shore.

Due to heavy rain during the storm, streets and underground passages in Antalya were flooded. In the Kepex and Konyaalti districts, many cars got stuck on the roads due to flooding.

In the evening, municipal teams in Antalya began pumping out the water accumulated in the tunnel. The work continued until morning.
The storm caused giant waves in the Kaleici harbor and on the Konyaalti beach.

In the village of Chaykoj in the Kast district, a forest fire broke out due to a lightning strike, which was successfully extinguished by the efforts of rescue brigades.

Turkey is one of the countries cascaded with climate catastrophes, and there are no indications that the situation will change for the better. Find out why this is happening on the forum "Global Crisis. Responsibility."
