re: Tornado! Insane Deviant Tornado in Kansas

I live right in on the county line. I was downtown at a dance recital for my daughter. Everyone’s phones went off in the lobby at Century II at the same time. Took a selfie with my daughter and hit the road. My son and I watched the rope go back into the clouds north of Augusta, KS. Our neighborhood was spared, but my neighbors sent me a couple of photos of my house with this tornado in the background. The Andover Y is trashed. The drone video that Reed Timmer has up was that building taking a direct hit.

I’ll say this. Seeing a tornado in person is pretty surreal. Thankfully, there have been no deaths reported. The Evergy linemen have done a bang up job at getting power back up for us. Wild night, for sure. I bet I’ve only slept about a half hour since then. I keep waking up to watch footage and updates from the local emergency responders.
