A school was flooded after Typhoon Nesat smashed into the northern Philippines on Sunday.

Footage shows the Claveria Rural and Vocational School and adjacent roads in Claveria town, Cagayan province swamped with high floods as the storm battered swathes of the country's northern regions on October 16.

The typhoon struck just days after a tropical depression pummeled the province some 600 kilometres north of the capital Manila.

Nesat, packing maximum sustained winds of 120 kilometres per hour, battered houses in Claveria town, Cagayan province, on October 16 after undergoing 'extreme rapid intensification,' state weather agency PAGASA said.

Known locally as 'Neneng,' it made landfall in the Philippines on October 16.

More than 7,500 families in the country's northern regions were affected by the typhoon. The national disaster council has reported no deaths, injuries, or missing persons as of October 17.

Nesat has left the Philippine monitoring area on Monday, but PAGASA warned of occasional showers due to the southwesterlies amplified by the weather system.
