We had some crazy weather come through last night (had to go to the basement!). Supposedly we had tornadoes, but who knows.
Along one of our highways there is a large church with a pools of water and a "The largest statue of Jesus in the US." His arms are outreaching to the sky, therefore is nick named "Touchdown Jesus"
Well, there was a TON of lightning last night and TD Jesus was struck by lightning and caught fire. It was made of styrofoam and wood with a metal frame- it burned down with in minutes!!! It's huge news here...and the picture of the metal empty frame look creepy!

This statue cost the church $500,000 to build! They plan to rebuild, but honestly the money should and could go towards better things.
Re: TD Jesus...gone.
i was wondering what your fb status meant now it all makes sense.
that is crazy!!!
omg... that is crazy.
you would thing a 500,000 statue would be made of metal materials instead of strofoam. I agree the money can be used to better things.
what a site that must be. I hope they come to their senses and spend $500K on something that actually does something good for someone...
