Flooded streets could also be seen in pictures from Seferihisar, Turkey. In an interview with TRT, experts warned of a possible further tsunami. Earthquake institutes are already reporting on the first aftershocks further west of the main quake, several of them over 4.

The German Research Center for Geosciences (GFZ) in Potsdam also reported on the “severe earthquake with a tsunami” on Friday afternoon. According to GFZ calculations, the waves reached heights of more than 1.5 meters. They could possibly come up to three meters high on the coast.
