Torrential rains and sustained winds of up to 155 km/h felled trees and electric posts, blocking road access, flooded communities, affecting air and sea routes as well as search-and-rescue operations as Typhoon Tino (Kalmaegi) hammered central Philippines overnight on Monday (November 3), and into Tuesday (November 4).

As floodwaters swallowed homes in Bacayan, Cebu City at daybreak Tuesday (November 4), resperate residents called out for help.

Typhoon Tino intensified while trekking westward across the central and western Philippines, prompting widespread flight cancellations and weather alerts across the country.

Thousands of homes are without power in several islands while huge swaths of land area flooded, as reported by residents on social media.

Found this YouTube link. Most are on you know what and you know what. This embeds easily.

First-hand report. (ex-wife's brother sent it)

Hello family. Flooding in Villa Del Rio. Mom, dad and caregiver are now staying at the 2nd floor coz the 1st level is flooded. The flood was so bad that the river overflowed. Cars are floating everywhere. No internet anymore so was able to reach them thru daddy’s cellphone but did not talk long coz low battery then unable to charge. Talked to Uncle Daryl and he will try to get a hold of them but for now no way to get to them coz even the bridge is not passable

(so cell service is still working)

I guess this says to get a charger with a big battery.

Edit to add. Just got screenshot.
