Almost two million people are under evacuation orders in Japan as Typhoon Dujuan batters a number of the country's prefectures.
Japan's Meteorological Agency had warned of an "imminent threat to life", but several warnings have now been downgraded, with the danger to life warning remaining in place in Oshima Town.
Strong winds caused power cuts for more than 50,000 people, while hundreds of flights have been cancelled and rail services have been suspended.
The Yokosuka City Fire Department told the BBC that a woman who lived in the house, aged in her 60s, may have been swept away and is believed to have been buried alive.
