‘Miracle that they’re still alive’: Tornado devastates Amish family of 11 in Washington County
SUMMARY: An EF2 tornado devastated the Amish Whitmer family’s home in Washington County, where 11 people were present. Despite the destruction of their livelihood—scattered debris, mud, and twisted metal—no deaths occurred at the family’s residence, which is considered a miracle. Five family members, including a 3-year-old girl briefly missing after the tornado, were hospitalized. The local church mobilized nearly 50 families to assist with cleanup and emotional support. The National Weather Service explained the tornado’s force was worsened by large overhead doors facing the storm, allowing winds inside to tear the home apart. Overall, 14 people were injured, and the community is grateful no more lives were lost.
