HiJolly Posted June 15, 2010 Report Posted June 15, 2010 They should do the LDS Moroni treatment, and plate him with gold. He might get scorched, but he wouldn't burn down! HiJolly Quote

Hemidakota Posted June 15, 2010 Posted June 15, 2010 · Hidden Hidden don't they use lightning rods?No! But considering the height, it was not expect to hit that low. Even according to any code, specific heights would require an electro rod be grounded to the earth. This hoever, was not even higher than the building.
bl8tant Posted June 15, 2010 Report Posted June 15, 2010 This is sad! That statue was one of our favorite landmarks when driving south to visit relatives. My kids just drove past it yesterday, then last night it burned down-- glad they got to see it one last time. Quote
