Ibrahim Yilmaz told the BNR about the situation in Adana and the ongoing aftershocks: "In Adana we are calm now, but we are on the street. We cannot enter the houses because the tremors continue. It is calmer here than in the eastern cities, but we cannot go inside. It was a big earthquake that took place at 4:17 in the morning. We ran out into the street at dawn. Many people will spend the night in their cars."
