Not so long ago, unpleasant news spread around the world, which this time affected warm and sunny Turkey. A natural disaster befell Turkish lands and caused massive losses to the country, the size of which has not yet been finally calculated.
Natural disaster and unprecedented flood of Turkey
On an ordinary day, not foreshadowing disaster, September 22, an irreparable and irreversible phenomenon occurred. It all started with bad weather and heavy rain, which mercilessly swept over the main resort areas of the beloved Turkey. The amount of precipitation exceeded the monthly norm many times and literally washed the town of Bodrum from the face of the earth. This resort town in a fairly short time has turned into something resembling a vast sea. The borders of land and water were completely absent, even cars and minibuses floated in water streams, like ships. Such force majeure caused great losses to owners of automotive equipment and real estate.
Consequences and losses from the September flood
Professional rescuers, along with local residents, took part in the search for victims and in calculating the damage caused by such a large-scale weather. The number of victims is about 8 people. If not for the competent actions of the rescue team, there could have been much more. For example, during the time of the flood in Turkey (September), the holiday season was in full swing, and over fifty injured people were evacuated by a rescue team in Bodrum.
Other Turkish cities also suffered from bad weather, but it was Bodrum that became its epicenter, in which the consequences were most deplorable.
Disaster Results in the Regions of the Country
According to a statistical summary of meteorologists, it was the most severe flood in the last 30 years. It cost a lot to Turkey: in addition to direct losses in the form of irretrievably lost property, the reputation of the tourism business has suffered. Confirmation of this event is photo frames that appear not only in news bulletins, but also on social networks daily, even after a lapse of time. The element was wavy in nature, that is, having swept through one city, it gradually passed to another. Antalya was no exception, and floods reached its borders. Turkey, receiving large incomes from tourism, it caused great damage.
A common fact for all coastal cities, which provoked a flood of Turkey, was the damage to property, real estate, natural beauties and a sufficiently developed infrastructure, which was built over the years. Also, the country's economy, provoked by the premature closure of the holiday season, suffered from an unexpected disaster.
