"The 2011 earthquake caused about $38 million in damage to the Cathedral. With your help, we can restore this national treasure to its original grandeur. On Aug. 23, 2011, a rare 5.8-magnitude earthquake struck the mid-Atlantic and caused significant damage to the Cathedral."

"Nearly a decade after 5.8-magnitude earthquake rattled the eastern United States, restoration efforts at the damaged Washington National Cathedral have totaled about $15 million and are expected to take another 10 years.

The temblor struck at about 2 p.m. Aug. 23, 2011, with an epicenter in Mineral, Va. Although it wasn't the strongest earthquake to hit the region, the U.S. Geological Survey said it spread throughout the eastern United States and was felt by millions -- likely more than any earthquake in North American history."
