Speaking of God, looks like there was some damage to the National Cathedral.

To be expected, just often not immediately or only superficially visible with well built structures that ought to have minor issues at most. It's old, flimsy and/or dilapidated buildings that were more at risk and might have some internal damage not immediately recognisable but may be unsafe in the short or long term structural problems if not addressed. That means the ghetto areas of DC but more likely the old or run down buildings closer to the epicentre area.

. . .

5.0–5.9 Moderate

Can cause major damage to poorly constructed buildings over small regions. At most slight damage to well-designed buildings.

6.0–6.9 Strong

Can be destructive in areas up to about 160 kilometres (100 mi) across in populated areas.
