Earthquake!!!

Yesterday the East Coast of USA had an earthquake.  It's very rare for earthquakes to happen in the eastern USA.  A 5.8 quake hit in Virginia, not far from Washington DC.  Some structures got some damage, but there was nothing catastrophic.  The National Cathedral lost one of its spires and the Washington Monument is now cracked and closed indefinitely.
Some people thought the quake was a terrorist attack because it's very close to the ten-year anniversary of 9/11 attacks.  The Pentagon and Capitol Building were evacuated, but people soon went back to work.
The quake was felt even as far north as Massachusetts and Toronto.  Some people in my state (Connecticut) felt it, yet nobody in my town did.  Government workers in Hartford left their places after the quake.
Well, it looks like it was uneventful, except the fact that everyone was shaken up by it.  And there is some damage that should be fixable for most structures.
