Vehicles navigated through waterlogged roads after Typhoon Ragasa's onslaught in the Philippines.

Footage captured by Jessa Loquinario shows public transport vehicles and cars slowly manoeuvring through leg-deep, murky floodwaters in Subic, Zambales, on September 24.

Residents were also seen wading along the roadside.

Jessa said: 'I saw residents helping each other and a few cars stalled as they tried to get through the high water. It's a challenging situation for everyone here.'

Super Typhoon Ragasa, described as the strongest storm of the year so far, has wreaked havoc across East Asia after tearing through the northern tip of the Philippines and Hong Kong, killing at least 10 people in the Philippines and displacing thousands. Taiwan has also reported 17 fatalities linked to the storm.

It made landfall in the Philippines' remote and poverty-stricken Babuyan Islands at 3 pm local time on Monday, September 22. It arrived as the country continues to grapple with weeks of severe flooding brought on by an unusually intense monsoon season.

The typhoon came ashore on Hailing Island in Guangdong, northern China, around 5 p.m. local time on September 24 with sustained winds of about 145 km/h (90 mph), after battering Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau, and parts of the Philippines.

A new tropical cyclone, Typhoon Bualoi, locally named Ompong, is forecast to make landfall in the Bicol Region of the Philippines tomorrow, on September 26.
