Amish Michiganders are being accused of causing problems for the National Weather Service’s efforts to track damage from EF1 tornados that touched down in Branch County last week.

“Despite the National Weather Service team arriving rather promptly, or within 48 hours of when the tornado struck, some of the damage was already at least partially repaired by the local Amish community,” according to a Sunday report from The Weather Channel. “The survey team, therefore, could not give wind speed estimates at these points along the tornado’s path, including for some damaged homes.”

Notes from the NWS team state “the tornado traveled northeast then northerly, causing damage to multiple Amish properties; the wind speed could not be estimated due to repairs already completed.”

Another note read: “Major damage was also noted to an Amish home, but repairs were already completed.”

Photos of the work show a roughly a third of a mobile home was destroyed by the twister, but it had already been reframed, sided and the roof shingled less than two days after the April 2 twisters.

Another image showed a massive home surrounded by downed trees that appeared to be nearly completely fixed, with new vapor barrier and roof, siding half complete.

The major structure of another large pole barn was also repaired with a new wall and lean-to.

Locals weighing in online were impressed, but not surprised.

“The Amish here in Michigan are amazing,” one X user posted. “They are fast and hard working. They do not play around. When they want to get the job done they are determined to get it done with no safety equipment. Just nothing but team work and coordination.”

“Thank you to the Amish, once again they come through when State Leadership fails,” another wrote.

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has yet to address the damage caused by a total of seven tornados that touched down across the state on March 30, or the two in Branch County on April 2, opting instead to remain focused on a devastating ice storm that crippled northern Michigan communities around the same time.

Whitmer activated the State Emergency Operations Center and declared an emergency for a dozen counties in the northern Lower Peninsula, as well as 14 counties in the Upper Peninsula, over the last week to address damage from the ice storms.

The larger of two April 2 tornados in Branch County traveled a total path of 10.94 miles with a maximum width of 600 yards, beginning in Orland, Indiana and ending in Lake of the Woods southwest of Coldwater, WWMT reports.

A second tornado that took a similar path traveled four miles.

Both tornados produced max wind speeds of more than 100 mph, according to the news site.

NWS storm reports cited by Iowa State University document damage to numerous trees and communications poles in Indiana, as well as an apartment building, cemetery, and a semi-truck blown over on an Indiana toll road.

“The tornado crossed into Michigan with intermittent light structural and tree damage occurring near East Gilead and extending northeastward,” the report read. “The tornado reached a maximum intensity of 105 mph (EF-1) when it struck a farm on east Pearl Road, tearing roofs off large silos, destroying a section of barn, driving a 2×4 into the nearby home, and destroying another outbuilding to the west.”
