CEBU CITY, Philippines — The afternoon downpour has caused up to waist-deep flooding and traffic buildup in several road networks in the cities of Cebu and Mandaue on Tuesday, November

Nerma Jacaban of the Traffic Enforcement Agency of Mandaue Command Center said several vehicles were left stranded after the floodwater rose waist-level along A.S. Fortuna Street and knee-deep along Highway Seno in Barangay Tipolo.

“Pagsaka sa tubig sa A.S. Fortuna, di a man gyud maagian mao na nga na-stranded gyud ang atong mga motorista,” Jacaban said in a phone interview.Hector Arcenal of Cebu City Transportation Office said the Nasipit Road in Barangay Talamban was the first one to be reported for flooding and traffic build-up.

The traffic congestion in Cebu City, which spanned between 5:05 p.m. until 7:20 p.m., was worsened by at least four road accidents in the Banilad-Talamban road section, said Arcenal. “Ramon” is currently at the eastern side of Calayan, Cagayan with maximum sustained winds of 120 kilometers per hour and gustiness of up to 165 kph.
