It depends on what is meant by touched but my conclusion was based on what Greg said in this list when he revealed the nature of the catastrophe.
Everywhere within a radius of 250 miles of the
proposed temple site went to dead air. This area includes Pavis,
most of
Esrola and Heortland, and would cover Tarsh except that kingdom was
protected by the current Glowline. In the lunar grounds priest
cheered when
the winds failed. The affected area indicated the area defended by
the
intended temple. Within that area the winterizing effects
described above
occur.

The writer was a Lhankor Mhy Sage. His magic worked fine during that period as did the magic of his colleagues. So why should he notice that the magic went kaput? Do you think he talked to people outside the temple?
