Many residents are still left picking up the pieces, as damages range in severity.
“There's always breeze blowing,” said Victor Harder.“It was, it was terrible,” said Harder.“We were sitting in this chair, and we got right here, this is as far as we could get when we heard all the noise,” said Harder.“When I walked up in the kitchen and looked right up in the sky, the roof was all gone,” Harder added. “The roof was off the rest of the house when we got all outside.”
Harder is now in a waiting game between insurance and contractors, which his neighbors, like the Webbs, are also dealing with.We visited the Webbs as they cleaned up the aftermath of the tornado a month ago. Their home didn't have any structural damage, but their metal and wooden barns were total losses.
“Maybe sell the rest of the beams at some point. We will probably just make the barn grass,” said Webb. “There's no rebuilding this, not like this.” Ottawa County EMA said 35 families were impacted by the tornado outbreak, and dozens of homes and other buildings were seriously damaged. But as cleanup continues in Oak Harbor a month later, the resident's resiliency continues to ring.
“We hope to put another ranch-type home so, only this time, I'm going to put a basement in if something like this happens again,” said Harder.
