Some villages suffered 70% destruction of property, while others nearby with fault lines running right through them had only a few houses damaged. 37: 305:). Although a large number of sites were independently assessed by up to six observers, variations of up to four degrees of the Mercalli scale indicated that an accurate figure was practically impossible to gauge.
