The earthquake caused more than 200 casualties, injured more than ten thousand people, and caused huge economic loss. This event was the most damaging earthquake in China since the 2008 M 8.0 Wenchuan earthquake and the 2010 M 7.1 Yushu earthquake. The Lushan earthquake was widely felt as far as 500 km away, in an area of almost 1 million square kilometers. The area that suffered damage is also substantial (∼20,000 square kilometers).
