Small magnitude
Why such a large destructive?
Seismic belt:
County located in the China-Burma border, are Tengchong - Longling seismic zone, earthquake-prone;
Shallow source:
Focal depth of only 10 km, is a shallow earthquake, felt strongly that is inevitable;
Multiple stacking:
Several earthquakes occurred in the same area, resulting in a superposition effect;
Population density:
The town population density, housing for the poor seismic performance of base dry play structure.
Seismological Bureau:

"10 seconds warning"
Refers to the process of the earthquake, go through two phases, the first impression that the upper and lower shock wave at this time is spread out, with a transmission speed characteristics; the second stage is the feeling of sloshing back and forth, At this point the form of energy to wave propagation, albeit less than the former, but a huge destructive power. Between the two stages of the transition period of about 10 seconds, so as long as the time to seize the first phase of seismic information, and will tell you that information as soon as possible
