In mundane astrology, the cardinal ingresses of the Sun (entry into the  four cardinal signs, i.e. 00 deg of Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn ) have a traditional reputation as important mundane events. The ingress ruling the current quarter is the Aries ingress of March 21, 2019. A chart for drawn for the Aries ingress at Shanghai is presented here. Notice that the Sun is placed on the Ascendant opposite the Moon on the descendant. The Moon [27vi] is conjunct the star Benetnash Eta (η) Ursa Major,  a brilliant white star on the tail of the Great Bear. About this star Elsbeth Ebertin wrote:

 In an important position in a mundane map, Benetnash will claim human lives in calamities such as mine accidents, collapse of houses and bridges, mountain slides, earth tremors and catastrophes caused by weather. [Fixed Stars and Their Interpretation, Elsbeth Ebertin, 1928, no.46, p.57, under the name Benetnash]

But what caused the house collapse on May 16?  To answer that question we look at the transit of Mars. On May 16, Mars entered [0 Cancer] forming a T-square with the ingress Sun [0ar] opposite the Moon [28vi] on the horizon at Shanghai thereby activating it.
