As a weakened typhoon, Melor made landfall in Japan on October 7 with wind gusts over 155 km/h (100 mph), causing massive power outages.
At the height of the storm, an estimated 500,000 residences, mainly around Tokyo, were without power.
Trains were canceled during the storm as they were unable to travel in conditions produced by the storm.
More than 2 million people, attempting to get to work, were stranded as transportation halted.
According to the Fire and Disaster Management Agency, two people were killed during the storm and at least 100 other were injured throughout the country in various incidents.
The first death occurred after a man on a motorcycle crashed into a downed tree and the other occurred after a man was struck by a broken tree limb.
Roughly 400 homes were damaged or destroyed by Melor and monetary damages amounted to 130 billion yen ($1.5 billion USD).

Another 64 people were injured, according to local media reports, after Melor reached landfall in Japan's Aichi prefecture early Thursday morning.

Typhoon Melor landed south-west of Tokyo on the main island of Honshū on Thursday, October 8, causing at least two deaths and cutting electricity to thousands.
Flights were also canceled and people evacuated amid flood and landslide warnings.

Still, initial damage reports suggested the typhoon, while powerful, did not cause the type of widespread devastation initially warned.
Meteorologists had been warning that the storm could be the most powerful to hit Japan in more than a decade.
Melor was the first typhoon to reach landfall in Japan in two years.

The storm was expected to drift off the country's eastern coast into the Pacific Ocean by Thursday evening.
An official at Japan's meteorological agency said the storm weakened as it moved along the eastern coast, preventing heavier damage.

The typhoon brought wind speeds of about 160 kilometers per hour while dumping 30 centimeters of rain in some regions, according to Japan Meteorological Agency.

One 54-year-old man was killed while delivering newspapers when his bike hit a fallen tree in the early morning, while a 69-year-old man died in Saitama prefecture near Tokyo after a tree fell on him, according to local police officials.

Many factories in the manufacturing-rich prefectures in central Japan were also shut from the storm.
