Typhon is the father of all monsters so his true form isnt that of a god or Titan, but a monster and he appears as a giant storm or something. If his form was so massive, it is possible that the true forms of the gods were clouded from view so no one could see it. At the same time, the gods may have been surrounding themselves with Mist, as TV reporters were filming the event and people were most likely watching it. The gods could have been using the Mist to keep the mortals safe.
