Expressing his surprise at the flooding, a local resident İsmail Açıkgöz said, "I have just come to this region. This happened 2-3 hours ago. The earthquake just happened. I didn't understand how this happened either. After the earthquake in Iskenderun, the sea is overflowing for the second time. Before the earthquake, it would only be like this in the rains, which was the rainwater, there was no water coming from the sea. We are also surprised."
