Typhoon Danas left buildings damaged across Taiwan as powerful winds and heavy rain swept through the region.

Footage shows a heavily impacted convenience store with downed glass panels and debris scattered across the road in Xinying District, Tainan City, on July 7.

Part of the ceiling was also damaged, contributing to the overall destruction.

Typhoon Danas made landfall in Taiwan late Sunday evening, killing two and injuring more than 500 as it pounded the island's western coast.

One person was crushed by a falling tree while driving, and another died after a power cut caused his respirator to malfunction.

Authorities said the Danas knocked down power to almost 700,000 homes and disrupted more than 300 domestic and international flights.

Danas was reportedly the first typhoon to touch down in Taiwan's Chiayi County, in a rare and devastating hit.

It has greatly weakened after making landfall, and was expected to hit China's Zhejiang province late on Tuesday, July 8.
