Due to the typhoon, storms in Miyakojima caused major damage to homes and crops. In Kagoshima prefecture, the damage caused by salt wind and storm surge was great. On the Pacific side of western Japan, heavy rainfall caused flood damage.^[8]^[3]

The typhoon killed 11 people and injured 80 in Japan.^[3] In addition, more than 20,000 houses were damaged.^[4]

Della caused a great deal of damage to Miyakojima, so the Japan Meteorological Agency named Della the "3rd Miyakojima Typhoon".

In the past, Typhoon Sarah in 1959 and Typhoon Cora in 1966 struck Miyako Island as well, so they are named "Miyakojima Typhoon" and "2nd Miyakojima Typhoon", respectively.
