Terrifying footage shows a portion of a mountain collapsing in a landslide before burying dozens of homes in a region hit by Tropical Storm Trami on October 23.

Resident Audrey Reolo said heavy rains battered the village before rocks, soil, and uprooted trees cascaded into roadside properties hit Bicol province, the Philippines.

She said: 'It happened so suddenly. All we could do was to leave and save ourselves.'

Trami, known locally as Kristine, intensified into a severe tropical storm as it churned over the Philippine Sea on Wednesday.

Philippine weather agency PAGASA said it made landfall over Isabela province in the country's northeast at 12:30am on Thursday, October 24.

Authorities said at least 14 people have died and thousands have fled to evacuation shelters as storm warnings were raised across the northern and central parts of the country.
