A Spanish tourist clung to a roof as a typhoon flooded homes in the Philippines.

Holidaymaker Roger was seen sitting on a rooftop slab with a friend as floodwaters surged through My Green Hostel at Port Barton Beach in San Vicente, Palawan.

Footage shows the visitor holding onto a pole while pointing out the submerged rooms amid the downpour on November 4.

He said in the video: 'Hello guys. The rain is starting to slow down, but it's a disaster. Hopefully everyone is safe but look at that.

'The people are on the second floor now. All the Filipino houses, everything, I think, is going to be destroyed. I think people are safe in this area, but we will need to help everyone.'

Other hostel guests were seen gathered on a balcony, using their phone torches during a power outage.

Roger said: We knew the typhoon was coming, but we didn't think it would be this severe. A lot of people have lost their homes and now have no access to food or water.'

Kalmaegi, locally known as Tino, has killed at least 188 people and displaced hundreds of thousands across the country. Another 135 people remain missing.

State weather bureau PAGASA said the storm dumped more than a month's worth of rain in just 24 hours in Southern Leyte and Cebu.

The storm later made landfall in central Vietnam late on Thursday, uprooting trees, damaging homes, and causing widespread power outages before weakening as it moved inland.

No official death toll has been released, but state-run media reported one fatality in Dak Lak province after a house collapsed.

Climate experts said typhoons are becoming stronger due to human-induced climate change. Warmer ocean temperatures allow storms to intensify rapidly, while a hotter atmosphere holds more moisture, leading to heavier rainfall.
