Gracias por su ayuda =)

An approximately 8.0 MR earthquake occurred 35 km offshore of Pisco on the night of August 15, 2007 resulting in a tsunami along the shoreline. The tsunami consisted of over 50 waves that resulted in inundation of the construction area along the shoreline and erosion of the placed fill near the eventual location of ***Bents*** 4 and 5. Estimated tsunami wave run-up elevations were approximately 3 m for this area based on post-tsunami reports (e.g., Peru Navy, 2007) and photo documentation shows the tsunami event reached the toe of the lower bluff which matches a 3 m run-up height. Aftershocks occurred for several days but no tsunami events were documented for these earthquakes.
