  • Andover kansas tornado
    April 29th, 2022
    Part two, looking north after it crossed central ave...
    .......Clarifications.....
    It passed 700 yards east of us and the city building was spared by about 100 feet (lots of city vehicle damage though.)
    I've been in KS for 60 years. This is the second twister I've seen and the first I've filmed.
    My wife was upset and scared and I was an idiot to keep filming, but I had a very good grasp of where it was and I could see it was moving NNE. We had a basement just a few steps away. She was right to be as upset as she was considering how many people's live were at risk.
    It was just us two at home, no pets and a basement 5 seconds away.
    We moved to Andover 9 months ago. It's a great town. Andover will be just fine and stronger than ever soon. Thankfully, nobody perished.
    If you would like to volunteer or donate to the relief, please do....Here is the united way site www.unitedwayplains.org/disas...
    I'm dedicating this to my mom. She passed in December 2021. She was raised on a farm in Ford Co Kansas. She always said when living on a farm, if you saw a twister, you "bend over, grab your ankles and kiss your A** goodbye"....I'm pretty sure she was driving this twister.

    I am in my 60's and have lived in N.E. Oklahoma most of my life. So, I have seen/experienced numerous severe storms and tornadoes. But of all the photos of tornadoes that I have ever seen, two really stand out in my mind as truly terrifying. They were both of tornadoes that hit Andover,KS! The first was of the tornado in the early 90's, then other is this one from a few days ago. I know what it is like cleaning up after a tornado and my thoughts and prayers are with all those who are dealing with that now.

    Once you've heard that sawing sound of a large tornado, you never forget it. It is the most horrifying, terrifying, helpless feeling in the world. I was outside this close to an F5 in 2013 heading straight for my living room, and I had 3 tiny dogs in the tub in the center of the house, but they didn't want to be in there, esp locked in there without me, and I knew I wouldn't be able to hold onto all of them.
    I learned after seeing the flattened neighborhood around me that one thing that often stood up to the tornado was the lower bathroom cabinets. My dogs would've been safer in there than in that plastic tub covered by my comforter, esp if I had tied the doors shut. They MIGHT'VE stood a chance. THANK GOD, we all survived that day, untouched, when the twister turned at the last minute and went parallel to my street. It killed 8 kids minutes later, so I can't be grateful about that - and, truthfully, my life wasn't worth even one of theirs - but I was happy to have survived. Been traumatized ever since though. Had to run from an even bigger tornado 11 days later. Then my house was hit by 2 bolts of lightning and burned down 2 years ago when I was home alone and has to get myself and the dogs out. Trauma level even higher now. I have barely left my house since the fire and I will NOT leave my house without my dogs now. I'm a prisoner here. But I'm at least not in a state of panic somewhere with my puppy panicking here at home because I left him alone. He's never been alone. He bites anyone who tries to handle him without me there, and even tries to bite my husband daily. But I can pick him up and kiss his nose while he growling and spitting at my husband - he won't bite mommy. He is just protective and very scared of strangers, and sassy when he doesn't want his dad picking him up because he knows it means he's being taken outside to potty without mama and is scared I won't be here when he gets back. He is my shadow! Even in the bathroom, even INSIDE the shower. He follows me into the shower and will stand in there with me! LOL

    It's a pity about the focus issues with the camera.
    But those were some of the most stunning images of a tornado I have ever seen. 😲👀
    Nerves of steel. Well done, mate. 👍

    This funnel actually looks photoshopped. It's actually beautiful. Thank you for not talking and screaming throughout this video, like most do. Nicely done.

    Great video, best footage I've seen without shaking hands. Thanks for the view, sad that so many lives were destroyed by this, but we don't control nature. 😢
