Tropical storm Trami has wreaked havoc in the Philippines, killing at least 26 people. The water level on the main island of Luzon is now up to a meter high - and the death toll is rising.
According to media reports, the storm began early Thursday morning. Soon after, authorities were forced to launch a rescue operation, using motorboats to reach villagers trapped by the flood.
Many sought shelter on rooftops, while others were stranded as the water continued to arrive.
In response to the developing disaster, the Philippine government also closed schools and offices across the island of Luzon on the second day. Exceptions were made for those who were needed to respond to the disaster.
