In Manavgat, heavy rainfall that started in the late hours of the night and continued to increase its effect in the morning negatively affected daily life, while a tornado that occurred around 11:30 caused significant damage to a business named Gök Mobilya located on the side road of the Manavgat-Antalya D-400 Highway in the Gültepe neighborhood.

THE TORNADO SWIRLED THE BUNGALOW LIKE A HANDKERCHIEF

The tornado lifted a triangular house weighing 2 tons, which was an example in front of the business, over cars and flipped it upside down 30 meters away, while throwing its roof onto parked cars in front of the business. The caravan that the tornado lifted and threw onto the cars, which was waiting to be made, astonished onlookers. It was reported that shortly before the tornado occurred, there was a power outage, and while those in the business were waiting in front of the business to close the automatic door, the tornado struck, and the employees narrowly escaped disaster. On the other hand, a car traveling on the Manavgat-Antalya road was affected by the tornado, resulting in significant damage to the vehicle.

"THE POSITIVE SIDE IS THAT THERE WERE NO CASUALTIES"

After the tornado, Seydi Güngör, the President of the Manavgat Chamber of Commerce and Industry, visited the affected business to inspect the damage and expressed his condolences to the business owners. Stating that a major natural disaster occurred, MATSO President Güngör said, "The positive side is that there were no casualties. There was significant material damage. May God protect us from worse, and I wish our business owner and Manavgat a speedy recovery."

"THE BUNGALOW WENT RIGHT FIRST, THEN LEFT"

The business owner, Ahmet Ali Gök, stated that a tornado suddenly occurred, saying, "While the rain was increasing, there was a power outage. After the power outage, we saw that the items in our garden were moving right and left, and our triangular bungalow first went to the right, then to the left. It overturned all the vehicles in front of our business. There is damage to 9 vehicles. There was significant material damage."

A business employee, who stated that they came to the entrance to close the automatic door after the power was cut, said, "While trying to provide energy to close the automatic door, something like a tornado-storm mixture appeared. We saw the triangular house going right and left. Then it flew over the car and came here, lying on its side. After the tornado stopped, we went outside. We encountered this scene. The triangular house traveled about 30 meters, passed over the car, and came here."

After the tornado incident, teams from the Antalya Metropolitan Municipality Fire Department Manavgat Unit, Manavgat District Gendarmerie Command Side Gendarmerie Station, Manavgat Municipality Disaster Affairs Directorate, and teams affiliated with the Manavgat District Governorate were dispatched to the scene, and damage assessment work began.
