Several areas in Can-Avid, Eastern Samar were swamped by chest-deep floods due to rains brought by a low-pressure area (LPA).
The Eastern Samar local government unit said the waters rose chest-deep in Barangay Obong and its nearby barangay when the creek overflowed on Tuesday morning, according to a Balitanghali report on Wednesday.
Residents' belongings and properties were damaged. The flood has already subsided.
In its 11 a.m. weather advisory, PAGASA said as of 10 a.m., the LPA was estimated based on all available data at 105 km east northeast of Catarman, Northern Samar or 180 km east of Juban, Sorsogon.
The LPA is forecast to move closer towards the Northern Samar - Bicol Region area, which remains less likely to develop into a tropical depression in the next 24 hours. —LBG, GMA News
