Considering the sustained wind speed was over 160 mph (for what seemed like several hours), things aren’t looking too bad at Liahona. However, we have heard that 50% of the buildings on the island have been damaged or destroyed.
The breadfruit tree at the corner is looking very sad.
The temple remained unscathed. The grounds not so much.
The bush really took a beating.

Facilities Management (Kind of ironic – it’s F.M. that manages the Liahona property.)
