The intensity of the meizoseismal area is VI. The seismic damage investigation shows that the houses are mainly mud-clay style and the seismic damage characteristics take on an obvious regional nature. The damage degree varies relative to the field conditions.展开更多

Results demonstrate that the cruise ship capsized when it encountered strong winds at speeds of at least 31 m s ^-1 near the apex of a bow echo embedded in a squall line. As suggested by the fallen trees within a 2-kin radius around the wreck location, such strong winds were likely caused by microburst straight-line wind and/or embedded small vortices, rather than tomadoes.展开更多
