Everything about that storm was wild. It did just about everything.

Same storm a bit later, not long before merging with the line. Massive inflow at this point.

BIL was at a friend’s house in that area about 30 minutes before. They left, and sounds like that street may have been hit pretty hard.

Sounds like BIL’s car was at the friend’s house, and everything in the area is blocked off.

You see why they say you can't outrun it.

Thanks baw we actually got a glimpse of it as it was roping out leaving the theater. Talking to the track coach at Andover High their team was on the way back from a meet and had to pull over at some random guys house to hide in the basement. Thankfully everyone was okay.

I think Andover Central High and an elementary took some damage.

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.

I spent most of my youth WANTING to see them. Then two of them came within a thousand yards of my my home and almost killed some of my neighbors. I quickly lost y fascination with the things.

Bucket list item. If I had the resources, I’d quit my job and chase these things, ending in tragic death of course.

Deviant tornado? Did it identify as a hurricane?

I think they live in that area just east of the YMCA, so a little south. It sounds like everything is still blocked off, so they don’t have an update yet. It does sound like that stretch from the Y to the Park got hit pretty hard. Glad to hear that you are safe!

Can a weather person explain why that tornado was so isolated from the cell? It looked like a tiny small ball on radar

Same to you man. Took 5 years of me living here to finally have an encounter with one of these and I’m fine never having another.

It liked to sit in the corner and watch. That’s why it was isolated from the supercell
