Footage shows an aerial view of the Marikina River in Manila, Philippines after Typhoon Vamco brought severe floods.

Vin Bermudes, who recorded the video in the Eastwood City area of the capital, said: ''Marikina River reached almost the same level as Tropical storm 'Ondoy' in 2009 and looks so bad."

The scenes came after winds of up to 80 mph hit the capital on Wednesday night before dumping rainwater.

Typhoon Vamco made landfall in Quezon province on Luzon island on Tuesday evening before leaving the region and moving towards the capital Manila, home to more than two million people, where it made landfall again.

The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) said Thursday that it has yet to determine the number of casualties from Typhoon Vamco, or Ulysses, as all pertinent data are still being consolidated.

The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said Vamco was a Category 2 and issued a signal 3 warning, with signal 5 being the highest.

They warned of ‘’heavy damage to high-risk structures’’ and ‘’increasing damage to old, dilapidated residential structures, and houses of light materials.”

The agency said there would be ‘’widespread disruption of electrical power and communication services."

The storm comes just over a week after Typhoon Goni, also known as Typhoon Rolly, killed 74 people and destroyed thousands of homes in the Philippines when it made landfall on November 1.
