In Balıkesir, the storm caused significant damage to coastal areas.

The storm, which was particularly effective in the Edremit Gulf, led to the sinking of several small fishing boats and others being swept ashore by waves.

Fishermen remained on the shore to protect their boats, while authorities warned citizens not to venture out to sea. The storm is expected to continue into the night.

In Erdek, severe winds also caused many boats to crash ashore and sustain damage. Boat owners made intense efforts to rescue their boats with their own means.

The General Directorate of Meteorology issued warnings for storms in the Central and Eastern Black Sea, urging citizens to be cautious. Precautions during such weather conditions are vital.
