Witnesses said they felt a strong quake as “everyone ran outside,” with one describing it as the biggest they ever felt in Turkey.
Other earthquake monitoring agencies issued preliminary reports of a tremor of varying magnitude, with the USGS alerting a 6.3 and the Greek Geodynamics Institute posting a 6.1 quake.
Just had an earthquake in Izmir. Biggest I’ve felt in Turkey. Pretty scary. Everyone ran outside.

Three quakes have been felt in the area in the last hour. 10 minutes after the initial 6.0 quake a 4.9 aftershock was reported. The first and strongest quake was felt as far away as Plovdiv in central Bulgaria.
I felt it here in Plovdiv Bulgaria. Really felt it. Then saw a speaker moving back and forth and my water jug. First earthquake I’ve felt.

“Canakkale is swaying!” a video uploaded from the northwestern city in Turkey said, showing commotion on the streets following the quake.
