[NEW FOOTAGE] EF-3 Tornado Hits Andover, Kansas - Apr. 29, 2022

The date April 29, 2022, will forever be a day that is remembered by those living in Andover, Kansas, due to the furious tornado that tore through the small Wichita suburb and carved a path of destruction. The tornado, which was given a preliminary EF3 rating by the National Weather Service, was extremely well documented, a trait it shares with another infamous tornado that struck the same town some 31 years ago.Show more

AccuWeather Chief Meteorologist Jonathan Porter noted the similarity between the visuals that were captured of two powerful storms. The 2022 tornado was recorded from nearly every angle and by professional storm chasers as well as average people with a smartphone. Perhaps the defining video clip of the twister was a drone shot captured by Extreme Meteorologist Reed Timmer that showed the storm's formation and then its raw power as it sucked the roofs of houses into its funnel cloud and then spit them out in all directions.

Despite the 1991 tornado occurring well before the rise of the digital age, many videos that were shot on camcorders documented the wrath of what was an F5 twister that brought death and destruction to Andover and the surrounding area.

Storms developed on the afternoon of April 26, 1991, from central Oklahoma to central Kansas, resulting in a major severe weather outbreak. More than 50 tornadoes were reported across six states that day, including the notorious F5 tornado that hit the town of Andover.
