Silhouette Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 Darn, I missed that. Or if I did see it, it was back when I was probably 10 or younger as I don't remember wandering over the grounds after that…..I wonder how and why they decided to do that, the view it gives (I could see it at my high school on the hill across the Bay) outweighs the risk I guess.I got through my marriage safely, that is what counts. What happens now is okay by me. LOL at your last paragraph...When we were going through that temple every Friday night for years, I often pondered what would happen if a major quake struck during a session. Do they have an evacuation plan, etc. Would they calmly finish the things people happened to be saying when the quake struck? Would the long dresses get in the way of running (haha) If there WAS an evacuation plan, and we were already in our full temple clothes, would we have to stop to take them off before going outside? In the event of a power outage, were there emergency lights? Dumb stuff like that haha.
Calm Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 I only went through my own endowment and sealing there unfortunately. And I was thinking of other things at the moment so an earthquake occurring never crossed my mind.
thesometimesaint Posted November 23, 2014 Posted November 23, 2014 TTBOMK there is emergency generators in the Temples.

strappinglad Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 I think that the temple would be one of the safest places to stay during an earthquake. Even if one were to die there, I can think of few better places to ascend from. St Peter, " so you were just in a session in Oakland eh? You are in luck, there is another one starting here in 30 minutes" .
Stargazer Posted December 12, 2014 Posted December 12, 2014 Color me skeptical. While earthquakes can and do happen anywhere they do tend to concentrate around the Pacific Ring of Fire. Which also produce mountains and do have more snow. Yes, they do, so it might be hard to demonstrate, even if it were happening. However, Alaska gets a large amount of snowpack from top to bottom every year, even where there are no mountains, so it might possible to find a statistic anomaly due to the snow. I think that even if it were true it would not be a significant difference anyway. It would just be "interesting".
