Four Amish Children die in Flash Flood

February 26, 2011- Four Amish children died Thursday, when a family in a horse-drawn buggy were swept off the road due to a flash flood. Emanuel Wagler, who was steering the buggy, could not tell how deep the water was across the road since the sun had already set. Four out of seven children were thrown out of the buggy and drowned. The weather service had issued a flash flood warning, but the Amish family do not have electricity. The water levels have been high the last couple of weeks due to constant rain.
