Footage captured by a resident shows a massive python navigating fast-moving floodwaters in Purok Marryland, Talisay City, Cebu, on Tuesday, November 4, as Typhoon Tino (International name: Kalmaegi) batters the region.
The video was taken by local resident Rickamae Manlangit, where she reported that they are still stranded.
It has so far garnered 3.8 million views, 916 comments and 12,000 shares.
Dozens have been killed and hundreds of thousands have been forced to flee their homes as a typhoon ripped through the central Philippines, the country’s disaster agency said.
Tino has flooded large areas, including entire towns on the island of Cebu.
Videos show people sheltering on rooftops, while cars and shipping containers have been swept through the streets.
The typhoon, locally named Tino, has weakened since making landfall early on Tuesday.
“The situation in Cebu is really unprecedented,” provincial governor Pamela Baricuatro said in a Facebook post.
“We were expecting the winds to be the dangerous part, but… the water is what’s truly putting our people at risk,” she said.
“The floodwaters are just devastating.”
