the assigned nember can vary from place to place within the disturbed region depending on the location of the observer with respect to the earthquake epicenter. In addition some witnesses of the earthquake might exaggerate how bad thing were during the earthquake and some witnesses might not agree on what happened during the earthquake.

Which is the maximum possible damage designation on the Mercalli scale?

Who compiled the mercalli scale?
The mercalli scale was made by Giuseppe mercalli he was born in milan.
What does the modified mercalli scale measure?
The Modified Mercalli Intensity scale is used to measure the intensity of an earthquake based on its observed effects on people, buildings, and the natural environment rather than the seismic energy. It provides a qualitative assessment of the shaking and damage caused by an earthquake at a specific location.
What measures the damage done by an earthquake?
The damage done by an earthquake is typically measured using the Richter scale, moment magnitude scale, or the Modified Mercalli Intensity scale. These scales take into account factors such as the energy released, amount of ground shaking, and the impact on structures and people.
What was the Modified Mercalli scale level for the Chilean earthquake 2010?
According to the US Geological survey, the maximum intensity of the magnitude 9.5 Chilean earthquake of 1960 was rated as XI on the Modified Mercalli Intensity scale which are described as very disastrous or extreme events which are likely to cause significant damage to structures.
