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

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
