    Crazy. I felt it in Philly. I was in class and my desk and the projector were going back and forth. Hadn't felt one since I was in school in OR and there was one from Olympia, WA that we all felt.

    There is a crack on the top floor of the parking garage and few shattered windows. Apart from that, no major damage.

    (AP) -- A spokesman for Washington National Cathedral says at least three of the four pinnacles on the central tower have fallen off and the central tower appears to be leaning.

    The pinnacles are the top stones on the cathedral's towers.

    Richard Weinberg, director of communications for the cathedral, said the cathedral has been evacuated and stone masons are assessing the damage.

    The Washington National Cathedral is an Episcopal Church landmark in the capital. Located in the northwest quadrant of the city near foreign embassies and the vice president's residence, the gothic-like structure is among the tallest in the city. It's historically been the site of funerals and memorials for presidents and statesmen.

    It's Bush's Fault.
