Tsunami causes severe damage in El Ñuro, Piura, Peru

On December 27, 2024, in El Ñuro, Piura, Peru, @pura_finta shared a video showing a powerful tidal wave striking and damaging several boats in the sea. The video captures an abnormal swell bringing strong waves to the northern coast, causing water overflow and severe damage to the coasts of Piura and Tumbes. The footage shows the strong waves damaging and sinking some fishermen's boats out at sea and pushing them near the shore. This phenomenon, caused by rising sea levels, has prompted local authorities to activate emergency plans to mitigate its impact on the population and coastal infrastructure.
