A waterspout that formed in the sea in the district eventually reached the coast. The waterspout, which tore off the roof of a building in the coastal area, later dissipated. The Mayor of Çayeli, İsmail Hakkı Çiftçi, stated that a storm was effective in the district in the morning hours. He also mentioned that a waterspout formed in the sea and reached the shore, causing damage to a building’s roof and resulting in some material falling on a car, damaging it.
In addition to the waterspout, the storm also damaged a fish cage under construction off the coast of the district. Meanwhile, intermittent rainfall in the province led to landslides occurring in various areas. In the village of Yemişlik, located in the center, a soil movement caused Adam Birinci’s parked minibus to slide. To prevent the minibus from falling down the slope, locals tied it to a tree with ropes, and it was later pulled back onto the road with the help of a crane.
Adam Birinci, the owner of the minibus, mentioned hearing a loud noise after the heavy rainfall, stating that the soil from above swept away his car parked on the road, causing damage to both his vehicle and his property. The district authorities are assessing the extent of the damage caused by the storm and landslides in the area, with efforts underway to ensure the safety of residents and minimize further destruction.
