Kansas folks

Just seen a big tornado touched down out there, just seeing if everyone is ok.

Twas a bit north of me....I think.

There was one near Wichita, in the Andover area. Watching Wichita TV station about it now.

What I seen it looks like Andover got hit hard .

Mutiple videos of tornado going through Andover is included on this Wichita newspaper website:

I haven't heard of any serious injuries from it yet. The Andover YMCA was directly hit, and it looks like multiple vehicles were thrown against the building.

I live in Andover. Lots of damage in town. The twister went east of my house, so we got a good look at it. Very scary to see one in action. Living in Kansas I've seen plenty of them. This is the view from the front yard.

Wow

I've never seen one that close

I work for a company with a branch in Andover. Owner said it took the roof off our building. Said it was real bad.

I am glad nobody died!

Impressive video, Marty. Holy cow!
Andover looks like one big suburb. None of the buildings in the video look like they're more than 10-15 years old.

Andover seems to be tornado alley! Some years back, they really got hit bad. I'm up in the NE, and we had some around too. Went to the spring directors meeting yesterday, and on 75 Hwy, north of Topeka, one went through north of Mayetta, took down 8 big three phase power poles in a row, right at a half a mile worth! Bet the sparks were flying when that happened! They are just part of our way of life, gotta keep your eyes and ears open!

I think it was about 30 years ago that a big one hit Andover. You see a lot of "new" buildings in an area that has been nailed by a big tornado. Greensburg comes to mind.
