On Friday evening, a violent tornado slammed Andover, Kansas, leaving a trail of wreckage and knocking out electricity for hundreds, although only a few casualties were reported. Meteorologist captured dramatic footage of the twister from numerous viewpoints.
The tornado can be seen whirling and gathering force in one video filmed from the ground as it lofted debris into the air in all directions, smashing across the little suburb located about 15 miles east of Wichita. According to Timmer, the tornado grew so quickly that it traveled “from 10 [mph] to 300 [mph] in seconds.”
From kilometers away, the tornado could be seen. Ali Davis, Storm Warning Meteorologist in Wichita, captured the twister on her front porch.Officials claimed at a press briefing on Saturday morning that the acute epidemic in Andover had resulted in zero deaths and four injuries, all of which were considered mild. One person was hurt while evacuating, another was hurt by debris, and two more were hurt while reacting to the site.
