In other heart-stopping footage, cars and homes are swallowed by floodwaters, with locals wading through chest-deep water as the storm rages on.

The clip was shared on Tuesday (28 Oct), alongside a chilling message from the aid group that read: “We are shipping our SAFE Camp equipment over to establish a safe place for teams to organise and work from.
“Say a prayer for safety as we go into the unknown.”
