Due to the heavy rain and storm affecting Rize, an 8-story building was evacuated as a precaution.
GIANT WAVES BROKE THE WINDOWS OF A BUSINESS
A strong storm was effective in the city during the evening hours. While the storm, accompanied by heavy rain, negatively affected daily life, waves several meters high formed in the Black Sea. Waves hitting the shores in places overflowed the coast and reached the Black Sea Coastal Road, causing drivers to experience difficult moments. The giant waves formed in the sea due to the storm broke the windows of a business and reached inside; damage occurred in the establishment.
AN 8-STORY BUILDING WAS EVACUATED
On the other hand, due to the storm, the outer plaster of the 8-story Kordon Apartment, consisting of 2 blocks on Menderes Boulevard near the coast, fell. Citizens, feeling the tremor and leaving their homes, reported the situation to AFAD. The apartment, which was cordoned off by teams that arrived at the address upon notification, was evacuated as a precaution. Some of the 72 residents of the building took their belongings with them, while others could not enter the apartment out of fear. Some of those who evacuated their homes were placed with relatives, while others were accommodated in guesthouses.
