Super typhoon neoguri had 250km/h when it hit Okinawa in the South
then turned North, now East with winds of 100km/h
newspaper headlines had been alarming the last days,
worst storm since decades and such
But I found no damage estimates

Neoguri is now a tropical storm with maximum sustained winds of 100 kph (65 mph).

19 buildings took damage in Okinawa Prefecture.
my estimate: $5B damage
Across Kyushu, officials urged nearly 90,000 residents to evacuate; most evacuations
were in the city of Amakusa
In Okinawa Prefecture, 580,000 people in 18 municipalities were advised to evacuate
It is calculated that Japan loses on average up to $45.9 Billion due to cyclonic winds
every year and that it can lose a probable maximum loss of $547 Billion.
