SALT LAKE CITY, Utah--No members were hurt or suffered property damage in a tornado that struck downtown Salt Lake City Aug. 12, according to pastor Mike Kuykendall.
One person was killed and at least 85 were treated for injuries.
Lee Hutson, a member of the Salt Lake City congregation, drove through the back edge of the tornado not knowing what was happening.
"With tornadoes occurring so infrequently in Utah, most residents don't anticipate dealing with them," Mr. Kuykendall said. "It was not until Mr. Hutson arrived at his workplace that he realized what had happened and was grateful for the protection."
Mr. Hutson is employed by Utah Disaster Kleenup, which specializes in restoring damaged personal and commercial property.
