3 Nephi 8:7
7 And there were exceedingly sharp lightnings, such as never had
been known in all the land.

3 Nephi 8:8
8 And the city of Zarahemla did take fire.

3 Nephi 8:9
9 And the city of Moroni did sink into the depths of the sea,
and the inhabitants thereof were drowned.

3 Nephi 8:10
10 And the earth was carried up upon the city of Moronihah that
in the place of the city there became a great mountain.

3 Nephi 8:11
11 And there was a great and terrible destruction in the land
southward.

3 Nephi 8:12
12 But behold, there was a more great and terrible destruction
in the land northward; for behold, the whole face of the land was
changed, because of the tempest and the whirlwinds and the
thunderings and the lightnings, and the exceedingly great quaking

3 Nephi 8:18
18 And behold, the rocks were rent in twain; they were broken up

face of the land.

3 Nephi 8:19
19 And it came to pass that when the thunderings, and the
lightnings, and the storm, and the tempest, and the quakings of
the earth did cease--for behold, they did last for about the

done in about the space of three hours--and then behold, there
was darkness upon the face of the land.

3 Nephi 8:20
20 And it came to pass that there was thick darkness upon all
