Tuesday, 15th. June.
Just learned that during the "Great Flood" of the Mormon Temple in Broken Hill, N.S.W. the destruction internally to both the building and contents was quite significant, so to speak.
A hole, approx. 3.5 metres in diameter and approx. 4.2 - 4.3 metres in depth was made by the pressure of the escaping water,
All floors bar one were severely damaged, 80% of walls and ceilings were either severely damaged by water or so weakened that they collapsed completely,
The foundations upon which the red brick external walls stand have been badly under-mined and in numerous places are so weakened and eroded that the walls are developing large and visible cracks,
All the Church papers, records, etc, etc, were saturated and most were badly damaged,
The $22,000 Australia Dollars fence that surrounded the Temple and grounds was pulled down by the Water Authority when they arrived BECAUSE there was No-one available to unlock and open the gates,
Their nice green, manicured lawns are now looking very stressed and turning a brown shade, their car-park area is a muddy, boggy area where the Water Authority crews had to dig down to locate, repair ( if possible) the Arterial Water Main, no luck there, the pipe burst was directly UNDER the building, so they, instead, dug a NEW trench AROUND the building and replaced the whole Water main ( the L.D.S. must now make application to have the water re-connected to the Temple as it is NOT listed as a Residential/Business or Community Structure required by the Community at large).
And, to cap it all off, since the Covid Pandemic, Missionaries are NOT permitted to ENTER Australia, so their bicycles were stored at the Temple AND now, as it was discovered last weekend, some enterprising person/s has 'borrowed' them, including safety helmets, security chains and locks as well.

Maybe Moses tapped the ground and brought forth a deluge of water.

It was god's will what can you say.

Gawd must have been taking a nap, or fixing other stuff, or s/he would have prevented such a thing.....

I hope they blamed their god!

God starting one of his flood events again? See anyone in the front lawn building a boat?

Too much bull sh!t will back up the sewers and this is the result. (I know, just making light of it.)

It's a miracle!

As an "EX", I find this funny.

As Mormons are fond of saying about fortunate events, 'It must have been meant to be!' I assume no one was harmed from this occurrence. That's a good thing.
