Impact
The earthquake caused the collapse of over 1,400 houses, severely damaged 6,400 houses, and slightly damaged 29,000 houses. The majority of the homes damaged were old and of poor construction quality. Newer buildings withstood the tremor better as they were improved after the 2008 Sichuan earthquake, which killed nearly 90,000 and left over 18,000 missing.[9] The quake damaged a warehouse in Lu County which led to the loss of 150 tons of liquor.[10]
Power outages were caused by the earthquake which disrupted power supplies and affected at least 20,000 homes.
A small landslide occurred at Yuchan Mountain, partially burying the road along its slopes. Officials at the Chengdu University of Technology said there is a low risk of landslides occurring in the affected areas.[15]
