Tornado hits town 2 miles from me

r0yals2012 · 04-30-2022, 05:39 PM

I’m sure many of you have saw on even national news but the town I went to high school and where I live about 2 miles from got hit with a tornado last night. It formed about 2 miles away from my house and left a path of destruction for 21 minutes. 1,000 buildings were damaged and the YMCA is a total loss. Preliminary results list it as an EF-3. Fortunately nobody was killed and there are reporting only 4 minor injuries. My best friend’s house has minimal damage but some of her neighbors weren’t as lucky.
Here are some pictures I got of the tornado. Yes I was outside watching it form and everything. No I don’t recommend it but I was not in the path. It formed very quickly. In my 28 years of living in Kansas I have never actually seen a tornado. Had 2 close calls (one a few streets over) but it was too dark to see them. Very thankful that nobody died or anyone got seriously injured and it could have been so much worse. If you search YouTube Andover tornado 2022 drone damage you can see how much damage was done

I was on Youtube a little bit ago and saw this drone footage of the tornado in Andover.

Reed Timmer has been chasing with a guy using drones lately and was able to capture this.

Go to Youtube to watch it full screen.

Both sad and amazing...

Glad no one was hurt badly or killed.
Pretty cool pics though.

I love weather related stuff like hurricanes and tornadoes. Very fascinating what this world can produce.

Agreed, I wanted to be a meteorologist growing up and I would ask my parents to buy all those tornado compilation VHS tapes. I thought it would be cool be a storm chaser too.

Is this tornado the one mentioned in this article?
RIP to the 3 students who lost their lives.

I think so. They were on their way home and in Tonkawa (Oklahoma) they hydroplaned and hit a semi. Sad tragedy and RIP to those 3 students. Gone too soon

No joke I was the same way when I was a kid. I’d rent all the weather books and vhs at the library and I’d watch the weather channel all the time. I wanted to be a meteorologist too.
