The strongest earthquake to hit the East Coast of the U.S. in seven
decades damaged monuments in the Washington, D.C., area while rattling the
nerves of tens of millions, just three weeks ahead of the 10th anniversary
of the September 11 attacks.
.
Though there are no known deaths after the quake that struck at 1:58 p.m.
Tuesday, damage overall was estimated at $100 million.
.
The National Park Service discovered cracking in the stones at the top of
the Washington Monument, which will be closed indefinitely, according to
the Associated Press. While inspecting it via helicopter the NPS noticed a
crack in what they refer to as the paramedian at the very top of the
triangle.
.
At the historic National Cathedral in Washington, D.C. damage has been
confirmed to three of four pinnacles atop the tower, while reports
indicated cracks appeared in the flying buttresses around the east end of
the cathedral.
.
Experts are working to assess the building damage, both structurally and
aesthetically, according to a statement on the monument's official
website.
.
Elsewhere in the capital, the largest metropolitan area close to the
quake's epicenter, the Cross family from Michigan was at the top of the
Washington Monument when the quake struck. They said that they felt the
555 foot monument sway nearly a foot, and said they felt pieces of the
monument falling on them.
.
The White House and Capitol building were evacuated following the quake,
and the Park Service closed all monuments and memorials on the National
Mall.
