Desperate families climbed onto roofs as Typhoon Vamco caused severe flooding in the Philippines on Thursday (November 12).
Footage shows the devastating scene in the Marikina area of Metro Manila where 6-foot-deep muddy torrents swamped tens of thousands of homes.
A Stranded resident said: "We had nowhere else to go so we climbed on our roofs. If we didn't do that, we would have drowned. It was so scary and most of us could not swim and we even had a baby with us."

Hundreds of people across the country had to seek refuge on their roofs due to severe flooding from Typhoon "Vamco". The tropical storm wreaked havoc when it pulled over the east of the main island of Luzon, on which the capital Manila is located,
with gusts of wind of more than 250 kilometers per hour. At least one person died and three more are missing, said civil defense. Thousands had been brought to safety before the storm hit. According to the civil defense, around 50,000 people were ordered to leave their homes.

The #earthquake tremors were so violent that it crumbled many buildings & roads in #Baguio, cutting it off from the rest of #PH for around 48 hrs. It was the biggest earthquake in #PH since 1976, and in northern Luzon in a century.
