Justified and Ancient (1991)

[Villavic]

I’m ok, thanks for asking. The worst waves happened in north Peru (730 miles from my city, Lima), not far from the border with Ecuador. Serious damage to fishing boats and docks.

But here there were some waves that hit Callao, the port near Lima. They flooded some squares and streets but no victims, fortunately.

Nothing happened in my neighborhood, Miraflores, no waves but the beaches were closed anyway. I live a mile from the coast (used to live closer in the past), but fortunately this district is on top of some cliffs so we are kind of protected, though not all Lima is, some areas are at sea level. In the past when we have had earthquakes, there were no large tsunamis but there were waves that got strong and reached the beach road.
