category 12 - catestrophic
The mercalli scale was made by Giuseppe mercalli he was born in milan.
You can find the rating of earthquake damage at a particular location on the Modified Mercalli Intensity (MMI) scale, which assesses the intensity of shaking and resulting damage at specific locations. This rating is often provided by organizations like the United States Geological Survey (USGS) or local seismic monitoring agencies in affected areas.
The scale was developed by Dr. Tetsuya Fujita at the University of Chicago in 1971. Ths highest rating is F5.
The Mercalli Intensity Scale is a measure of earthquake intensity experienced at a given location. The Kobe earthquake in 1995 had intensities reaching up to VIII (8) on the Mercalli Intensity Scale in the heavily affected areas around Kobe.
The Richter scale measures the energy released during an earthquake through amplitude of seismic waves, while the Mercalli scale measures the intensity of an earthquake based on observed effects on people, buildings, and the environment. The Richter scale is a logarithmic scale ranging from 1 to 10+, while the Mercalli scale is a descriptive scale ranging from I to XII.
Maby you should find the answer on anothr website.
I believe it is up to roman numero 12 .

Technically, you can't tell damage from the Richter Scale, because the Richter Scale rating of an earthquake stays the same no mater how far out you go from the epicenter. The scale that measures the damage of an earthquake (meaning the scale rating gets lower the further you go from the epicenter) is called the Mercalli Scale. The Mercalli Scale goes from II to XII (2 to 12) and the rating on the Mercalli Scale in which damage starts to occur is about 6. However, if you are going by the Richter Scale, damage at the epicenter would start at about 5.0
The Japan earthquake of March 11, 2011 was a 9.0 on the moment magnitude scale, which replaced the Richter scale.
The mercalli scale was made by Giuseppe mercalli he was born in milan.
The Modified Mercalli intensity scale ranges from 1 to 12 (I - XII), with XII being described as cataclysmic. This leads to total destruction of nearly all structures. The ground surface will potentially have permanently changed level by several metres. The ground's surface moves with visible waves or ripples while the earthquake is occurring.
The F-scale or Fujita scale was developed by Dr. Tetsuya Theodore Fujita as the University of Chicago in 1971. The highest rating on the scale is F5.
