Five separate tremors occurred off the coast of the Istanbul Princes' Islands during the day, the largest of which was magnitude 2.5. Due to the intense interest of citizens seeking detailed information after the earthquakes, the Kandilli Observatory's website was occasionally locked up.
According to Kandilli's data, 5 separate tremors were recorded in the Adalar district of Istanbul during the day, the largest of which was 2.5 magnitude. Following the earthquakes, Kandilli Observatory's website, flooded by citizens seeking information, was locked due to the intensity.
Small-scale tremors occurred consecutively in the Marmara Sea off the coast of Adalar during the day. The largest of the earthquakes centered in the Adalar district was measured at 2.5 magnitude, and a total of 5 separate tremors were felt throughout the day. Although the tremors did not cause major damage due to their depths and magnitudes, they caused brief concern in the city.
CITIZENS FLOCKED TO THE SITE FOR INFORMATION
Istanbulites who felt the tremors quickly turned to the official website of Bogazici University Kandilli Observatory and Earthquake Research Institute to get clear information about the epicenter, magnitude, and depth of the earthquakes.
EXTREME INTENSITY LOCKED THE SITE
Due to the extreme traffic and intensity caused by thousands of people trying to access the site at the same time, access to Kandilli Observatory's website could not be provided for a while. Following the lockout on the site, access gradually returned to normal with the intervention of technical teams.
