Waves as high as 7m (22 ft) have hit parts of Chile and coastal areas are on alert as high winds and tidal currents sweep across parts of South America's coast.
Footage showed huge waves surging onto the streets of Antofagasta in Chile where at least one injury was reported following the dangerous weather.
In Peru, parts of the country's coastline were hit with waves as big as 5m (16 ft) and the weather caused flooded streets in the seaside city of Chimbote.

Good thing those youngsters can run fast. Daring mother nature is something that is a very risky proposition. Of course, everyone knows that when you are young, you are immortal.

Apparently they've never been in the water with large waves.
You're never more insignificant.

The only times in my life I’ve ever thought I might be finished was after being caught inside on an XL day. Tough to avoid panic.

Tough getting back in the water with blood coming out of your shoulder blades.

If you’re in the Pacific it’s cold enough to deaden the sting.

What are the normal high tides there. Some places normally have 50 foot tides.
