Thousands of people were without electricity and running water on Sunday in central Japan after typhoon Talas left two dead and one missing.
The two people who died are a resident of Kakegawa, Shizuoka Prefecture, whose home was swept away by a landslide, and a resident of the nearby city of Fukuroi whose vehicle was submerged, according to a rescue official.
A third person remains missing after his car fell into a hole in the middle of the road in Kawanehoncho, also in Shizuoka province, the official told AFP.

Japan is hit by about twenty typhoons each year, between summer and autumn.
