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.

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.

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