00:00Good evening Kapuso! I am your Kuya Kim who will give you the trivia behind the trending news.
00:09Because of the bad weather, it became a challenge for many drivers to say goodbye to the roads.
00:15Just like the experience of a family returning home from an outing, the road was flooded with flash floods near this hill.
00:24Jan! Jan! Jan!
00:27If you encounter a scene like this on the road, will you continue?
00:30Jan! Jan! Jan!
00:32This is what John's family faced when they passed by Tamaraw Falls in Puerto Galera.
00:36My family and I were outing. We were on our way home.
00:39But because of the bad weather, the flash floods that were just next to the road did not get worse.
00:44The flash floods were very strong. My companion was very calm.
00:48Jan! Jan!
00:50But John could not go back.
00:52There were a lot of vehicles in the back. I also looked at the road.
00:55When I saw that there were guardrails on the right, I said, I can do it.
00:58Jan! Jan! Mobile!
01:00Until...
01:02Oh no! Mobile!
01:05Thank you! Thank you!
01:11I'm so scared!
01:13They passed through safely.
01:14We felt so light when we passed through.
01:17Because there are a lot of roads that are now flooded due to the bad weather,
01:20what should be done in the face of such a situation?
01:24Brother Kim, let's go!
01:26The first thing to do is to remain calm and observe the surroundings.
01:30Be observant right away. Look at where the water flows.
01:33Avoid where the water is going. Then avoid distraction.
01:37If you see a flood, avoid it if possible.
01:39Do not force to pass or cross.
01:41Because maybe later, it's deep.
01:43You don't know what's underneath. It might damage your vehicle.
01:47Find another route.
01:48Just remember to run the vehicle.
01:49If you increase your speed, your vehicle might be out of control.
01:53Maintain a safe distance if there are vehicles in front of you.
01:57Remember to use the brakes because the road is slippery.
02:00Even if the machine will kill you, don't force it to pass.
02:03Because it can damage the machine even more.
02:05If the flood reached the road, look for a high area.
02:09As much as possible, we don't leave our vehicle.
02:11Why? Is the water really high?
02:13Leave the vehicle. Your safety is your utmost concern.
02:18But do you have any idea how strong the flood is?
02:26According to the National Weather Service of America,
02:28even if the flood is only 6 inches high, it can make a person fall.
02:34While the flood is 12 inches high, even a small vehicle can handle it.
02:40So if possible, whenever there is a flood,
02:42we should stay inside our houses to be safe.
