A street in the Philippines became flooded hours before Typhoon Mangkhut entered the country.

This video was taken in San Fernando City, Pampanga on September 11.

The super typhoon has spread towards the Philippines mainland and is the equivalent of a Category 5 severe tropical cyclone, boasting maximum sustained winds of 205kph and gusts up to 285kph.

It was initially expected to hit the northern tip of Cagayan province early Saturday, but it is now likely to make landfall farther south and closer to Isabela province, and then cut across the northern breadbasket, Philippine state forecaster Chris Perez said.
