The nation's oldest State House was hit by lightning Friday evening, triggering a sprinkler system in its historic dome. Fire officials say there was no smoke or fire in the building and no one was injured.
The Republican governor said in a Facebook post Saturday morning that the lightning rod on the dome "was constructed and grounded to Franklin's exact specifications." He says at the time it was added to the building, it served as "a powerful symbol of the independence and ingenuity of our young nation."
Just think, if they were what they are, they could have found $12 billion in the budget to build a new statehouse to hang out in.
