Danger Zone
The heartbreaking sight of the cathedral I cherish, surrounded by chain-link and police tape, creating a safe perimeter. Sad
but necessary with tons of loose limestone precariously balanced all along the building. Earthquake damage extends the full length of
the 510' long building; you can barely scan 3 buttresses in a row without finding masonry broken, cracked, twisted out of alignment or
missing completely. Several years of work, costing tens of millions of dollars (paid only by donations) are needed to fix it all.
Please Google the Washington National Cathedral for more info, and to help support this monumental undertaking.
