A house was left teetering on a hillside as flash floods eroded the ground during a storm in the Philippines.

Footage shows the structure dangling near the edge of a cliff while powerful currents wash away the ground underneath it in Banaue town, Ifugao province on July 7.

The disastrous downpour also triggered power outages and mudslides, forcing the evacuation of some 1,500 people in six barangays, the national disaster council said. Three people were also reported suffering from minor injuries.

The Department of Agriculture in a bulletin said about 198 hectares of land were affected by the floods, causing about 14.6 million PHP worth of agricultural damage. The agency added that mostly rice and assorted vegetable crops were destroyed as the country faces a looming food crisis due to bloated prices caused by inflation.

The Philippines and other countries in Southeast Asia such as Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand are in the middle of their tropical monsoon rainy season, which lasts until October or November.

Soaring temperatures reaching 35 degrees Celsius are often followed by powerful tropical storms with thunder, lightning, rain and flash floods.
