Hold to the Rod, the Lightning Rod


The "Oquirrh Mountain Temple," recently built by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, had a little mishap on Saturday night.

"Lightning struck the spire on the Oquirrh Mountain Temple on June 13th," said Scott Trotter, an LDS Church spokesman, in a prepared statement.

"No structural damage was reported; however, a black residue discolored the upper portion of the Angel Moroni statue. A work crew will re-gild the statue as soon as possible."
