Some areas of Lima are already being affected by the intense rains in Peru. Ravines in Chosica have reactivated, and areas of Puente Piedra and Comas have been overwhelmed by the overflow of the Chillón River.
According to Senamhi, it is estimated that in the following days there will be heavy rainfall, and the streets of the capital may wake up flooded. Faced with this possible scenario, the Ripley store in Miraflores started placing sandbag barriers to protect its facilities.

The actions of the administration of this department store generated all kinds of comments. On one hand, several users celebrated the preventive work, while others criticized it as exaggerated.
"I see many comments in different videos where people make fun of this possible rain in Lima... I just hope they don't cry later", "I prefer to spend on prevention than on repair", "They know how to prevent, and if it doesn't rain as they say, they haven't lost anything", "It is better to prevent than to regret, especially in Lima, which is not prepared for the rains", these are some of the comments at the bottom of the TikTok video.
