Typhoon Kalmaegi hammered the Philippines on Tuesday, triggering massive flooding that submerged houses up to the roofs, swept away countless cars, and displaced thousands of villagers, killing at least 26, said the Office of Civil Defense (OCD) on Tuesday. OCD spokesperson Junie Castillo said that 22 of the deaths were reported in Central Visayas region, two in Negros Island region, one in Western Visayas region, and one in Eastern Visayas region. The OCD said the victims were either swept away in floodwaters, pinned by fallen trees, or electrocuted. A total of 380,000 people have been evacuated and resettled due to the typhoon, said the OCD. Also on Tuesday, a Philippine military Super Huey helicopter crashed in Agusan del Sur province in Mindanao island in the southern Philippines while on a relief operation, the Philippine Air Force (PAF) said. The official status of the five people on the helicopter has not yet been confirmed. The immense volume and strong current of the floodwaters swallowed roads and streets in Central Visayas region. And a power blackout blanketed Siargao Island, one of the country's most popular tourist destinations, after strong, violent winds battered the island. The state weather bureau warned that Kalmaegi, locally known as Tino, which was moving northwestward at 15 kilometers per hour on Tuesday afternoon, will bring a storm surge of up to 3 meters. The Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines earlier said the typhoon forced airlines to cancel more than 100 flights. Located along the Pacific typhoon belt, the Philippines experiences an average of 20 typhoons each year. Shotlist: Siargao Island, Philippines - Nov 4, 2025: 1.
