Mother Nature added another sight to see at the Oquirrh Mountain Temple, Saturday.As weekend rain and lighting storms moved across the Salt Lake Valley, one strike took a path through the Angel Moroni's golden horn en route to the ground. Steve Allison, a resident of South Jordan who lives near the temple said lightning was dropping in the area Saturday and Sunday it was obvious lightning had struck the temple's unofficial lightning rod. (from LDS Living website)
That's crazy! I'm surprised it doesn't happen more often, actually.
ReplyDeleteJust after the sacramento temple dedication we were able to attend a fireside about temple construction. There is a metal cable attached to the Moroni on Sac and it runs through the temple, thru the foundation and into the ground. Thus "grounding" the temple in lame terms. This is the very girly unprofessional version. haha. oh ps....this is jesses wife.
