The amount of damage done by a typhoon or cyclone depends on many factors, not the least of which is the storm's path. In populated areas, especially in underdeveloped regions, casualties from flooding can become very high.
Out of the approximately 1800 deaths during the 2011 typhoon season in the Pacific, nearly 1300 resulted from a weaker but rainier storm, Severe Tropical Storm Washi, that never reached typhoon status. Its floods destroyed more than 9000 homes in the Philippines. By contrast, the 8 typhoons of the season combined for only about 211 total deaths.
