Super Grandma! Takes her grandson to see a tsunami after the 8.8 magnitude earthquake.

The tsunami warning issued on several Latin American coasts following the powerful 8.8 magnitude earthquake in Russia prompted evacuations, port closures, and preventive measures in countries such as Peru, Ecuador, and Colombia. However, a peculiar scene in Lima went viral due to the way a grandmother dealt with the natural phenomenon.

During a live broadcast in the beach area of the Chorrillos district, a Peruvian reporter interviewed a grandmother who was there with her grandson. What caught the attention wasn't just their presence in a cordoned-off area, but their reason for being there.

“I watched it on television and became alert, and I wanted to see something. I've never seen a tsunami. I brought my grandson so he could see it too, ” the woman told a Peruvian television channel. “They told me it's a precautionary measure, that it's not high risk,” she added.

When the reporter asked if she wasn't afraid for her safety, the grandmother calmly replied:

"If I have to leave, I'll just go straight ahead. I shouldn't go into the streets."

Following the earthquake in Russia , which caused a "train of waves" with delays of more than two hours before reaching the Pacific coast, Peruvian President Dina Boluarte confirmed the preventive closure of 125 ports.

In addition, Civil Defense had previously reported the closure of 65 ports and the blockade of beach access in Lima, from the Grau boardwalk (Chorrillos) to Armendáriz (Miraflores), to protect the population.

Despite warnings, many people went to higher ground to observe the phenomenon, ignoring the authorities' recommendations. The case of the "super grandma" generated mixed reactions: from criticism for exposing her grandson to memes and comments celebrating his curious spirit.

So far, no serious damage has been reported on the coasts of Latin America from this event, although authorities continue to monitor sea behavior.

Experts noted that waves could vary in height depending on the impact zone and that, although some warnings were preemptive, authorities' instructions should always be followed.

The incident serves as a reminder that, while curiosity is natural, when faced with natural phenomena like tsunamis, safety must always be the priority.
