CEBU CITY, Philippines – “Waterworld”.

This was one of the comments of Internet users of the photos and videos published on CDN Digital about the floods that hit parts of Metro Cebu after a heavy downpour after 8 pm on Monday, October 13.

Earlier in the day, the meteorological bureau forecast cloudy skies and high chances of rain in Metro Cebu.

Then, after 8 pm, the skies opened and the rains fell.

After that downpour, parts of Metro Cebu, particularly Cebu City and Mandaue City, were flooded.

Waist-deep flooding half submerged vehicles along General Maxilom Avenue in Cebu City, while leg-deep waters flooded parts of Barangay Tisa in Cebu City as well.

A shack was even seen floating in the floodwaters on Avenida General Maxilom.

At the border of Barangay Subangdaku and Cebu City along a part of MJ Cuenco Avenue, half-submerged waters from cars flooded the area after the Subangdaku River overflowed after the heavy downpour.

Here are some photos and videos from netizens, courtesy of Pearl Laude, showing scenes from yesterday’s floods in Metro Cebu.
