5.7 magnitude earthquake with aftershocks. Rather a long duration.
Power outages in a number of areas.

Good faith does not require evidence, but it also does not turn a blind eye to that evidence. Otherwise, it becomes misplaced faith.

Re: Earthquake in SLC
Yeah, I felt it. It's the first tremor I've ever experienced. I slept through the 1959 earthquake on the Idaho/Montana border. I was only three at the time.
God is Love. God is Truth. The greatest problem with organized religion is that the organization becomes god, rather than a means of serving God.

64,000 or more without power. The number keeps getting adjusted upward.

The Angel Moroni's trumpet fell off. This will be the lead story tonight on KSL and at the Deseret News.

Sometimes I fail to recognize my prophetic abilities. Not this time!

I'm sure church members will read some kind of prophetic portent into this. If anything, it seems like God is saying "Don't listen to these people, they don't speak for me!"

Re: Earthquake in SLC
I thought you were joking! But you weren't.
What about that story where they put in the elevator shafts because Truman Angel knew, by revelation, that elevators would be used, but "had not been invented yet."?
You would think that someone would have the prophetic power to at least understand the need to weld that trumpet on Moroni's face a little better...ya know?

Feel free to remove this post if it offends anyone, but when they fix Moroni, they should make it historically and literally accurate:

Re: Earthquake in SLC
I'd go along with this.
Maybe God is actually saying "Stop....!! What you're declaring, heralding, announcing, promoting is NOT my Gospel. Here's a sign. I'm taking away your stupid horn."

Turns out the architect had been studying in Europe where elevators were already the talk of the town.

I'm sure, if it's any kind of message from God, it is, "You don't speak for me.

There are 2 Gods. One who created us. The other you created. The God you made up is just like you-thrives on flattery-makes you live in fear.
Believe in the God who created us. And the God you created should be abolished.
