This hurricane made landfall directly in Mao County. Although everyone had already rushed to harvest any grain that could be collected, overall, the economic loss to Mao County was still extremely significant.
Fortunately, due to Xiao Chong's early evacuation of the people from dangerous areas, there were not many casualties in terms of personnel.
Compared to Mao County's thorough preparations, losses suffered by other states and counties on Jiangnan Road affected by the same hurricane were much greater.
