Did any Mormon temples get struck by lightning?

Yes! Since many temples of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are located on high ground and have a giant metal statue on the top, they are quite often struck by lightning. Usually the lightning strikes do little or no damage, but occassionally damage the Angel Moroni statue on top. The church has had to replace at least 3 statues due to lightning damage.


How did lightning rod improve people lives?

The lightning rod (USA), lightning conductor (UK) is a metal rod that is placed on the top of tall buildings. A metal cable or strap connects the conductor to another metal rod sunk deep into the earth. The principle is that should lightning strike the building, it is attracted to the conductor and travels down the cable to be dissipated safely into the earth - so saving the building from lightning damage. Wooden building used to burn down under stikes from lightening. The lighten rod (Ben Franklin) gives the electricity a easy path to the ground instead of a heat-producing path through wood.

Why do some people survive after being hit by lightning?

The injury caused by a lightning strike depends greatly on the amount of current that enters the body. A lightning strike is very high voltage, but it can be distributed over a very large area (as shown by the dendritic branching patterns). Unless one is hit directly by a return stroke, the current can be carried through the liquids of the skin to the ground without causing fatal damage. A lightning strike on a sports field can injure as many as a dozen players, and yet kill no one. Some people have been hit more than once by lightning, suffering skin burns (especially on the head, back, or heels) and occasionally nerve damage.

What should I avoid when buying discount tires?

Walking into a tire store is often very confusing for those of us who buy tires quite seldom. Many people don't care about tires at all. They just try to buy any of them in order to get at the wheel of their vehicles as soon as possible. However, there is a saying of a famous tire manufacturer Michelin: “So much is riding on your tires”. That's really truthful. Cheap tires can damage a great car and, vice versa, great tires can do wonderful for a very shabby vehicle. There are a few things to avoid when shopping for discount tires. One thing is to avoid no name tires, tires that you have never heard of. Also, avoid tires that have poor warranties. You should look for tires that have replacement warranties such as road damage and vandalisim warranties. Several tires come with lifetime warranties that include everything but sidewall damage.
