Provo Tabernacle Burns this Morning

This picture must have been taken before the roof collapsed
After the roof collapsed

It is a sad day in Provo! Around 2:45 this morning firefighters got a call that the Provo Tabernacle was on fire. Firefighters work from the outside for hours saying it is unsafe to go inside which they are right because after a couple of hours of trying to contain this fire the roof collapsed. This building was so beautiful inside and out. Since I have been living in Provo, my stake conferences have been in that building. It truly is an amazing building with lots of history and it makes me so sad, even teary eyed to see this happen. (could possibly be my birth control hormonal crap kickin in though haha) Anyways they are unsure at this point if it possible to restore or save this building at all. Last I heard it was considered a total loss. Hopefully something will be saved from this tragic accident. For more video and coverage you can go to ksl.com or even youtube.
