Surveillance video shows a tornado moving through Andover, Kansas, on April 29. Andover Fire Chief Chad Russell said some homes "were completely blown away."
For anyone unaware, this was rated an EF3 and was one of the narrowest on record. Imagine these wind speeds (even higher actually) around a mile wide vortex. Those are the monster tornadoes that flatten entire towns that you really need to watch out for.
@@denissssss8579 I agree, that's common knowledge. Just trying to paint a picture for those that aren't aware; it could be much worse & mother nature is not something to mess around with
@@classicsidehold7015 good morning 🌞😃☀️. From Dayton Ohio dude where I am from Dude lol 😂 have yoU. Ever seen a tornado 🌪. In person I’m just woundering ok 👌🏾 Dude I got to see a funnel cloud ☁️ spinning near my house 🏡 but the the tornado Didn’t touch the ground ok Dude it was back in October 7. 2020. Dude lol 😆 have a great 👍 Day ok 👌🏾 dude lol 😂
one of the greatest pieces of footage I have ever seen of a tornado. This one was extremely photogenic and videos like this, Reed Timmer's Drone Shot and the School CCTV just show how morbidly beautiful this thing is.
This footage is important because it shows how the winds of a tornado work. It doesn't blow things away, like a hurricane or straight line winds. It sucks up debris and then uses it like a missile.
two small trees were plucked out but the left white van and green roofs seemed undamaged and NOT sucked in? i think i might be able to survive this particular see through tornado, if i held onto a pole ?
@@whiteboy4045 of course i wont do it on purpose, but if a desperate situation calls for a desperate measure in 1 sec. must be small enough, and see-through
This is too scary to look at. And how it accelerated windspeed and pull some of those trees off the ground like it was no problem. Ever underestimate Mother Nature’s fury.
@@freddyrivera5521 I've only been living in Kansas for almost two years. I've never seen tornado in person & I know that the speed could look different on video.
@@TTundragrizzly slowed it down ?? Huh ?? It's sped up, and I am not sure why. It's a strong EF3, why speed the video up ? It was a STRONG tornado at regular speed.
@@TTundragrizzly yeah.. and it's still doesn't make sense from any angle. What exactly are you trying to say ? I have a degree in Meteorology and I still don't see the joke in your comment.
@@CalebDell, yes, it was pretty amazing; most likely attributable to excellent meteorology and warning systems, as well as the fact that it was light outside. I just checked, and there were only four injuries, none of which were critical. Damage was very heavy, though, affecting around 1000 buildings, many of which were destroyed
Wow, those flagpoles were a good indication of how violent the wind was!
I'm surprised the flags even managed to hang on!
@@dallaswiles same
@@dallaswiles AND THE FLAG WAS STILL THERE!

It also has some of the best footage and sound recordings currently
Ef3 hasn’t to do with wind speeds

@@evirs OK
@@denissssss8579 OK!!!
Incredible how that whole bank of trees on the left of the screen just "disappear"!
hey
it's insane..you can literally see how the wind flows into the tornado as it jerks in different directions
It's crazy what Mother Nature can do. It's almost unreal.

That American flag giving all it's got!!!
I guess that American flag took “As our flag was still there” personally
At this point Kansas should just move it’s entire state to another state 🤦♂️
I’d say they’ve gotten less frequent tornadoes than the past. Tornado activity has shifted somewhat to the east, and the west has gotten dryer.
Lol fax
Same with other tornado states like Oklahoma and Texas too
@@ecoRfan Tornado Alley isn't really shifting as much as it's expanding.
We should take Kansas AND PUSH IT SOMEWHERE ELSE!!
The before and after is incredible!

Thats an incredible video of a tornado. Really shows the wind blowing into it.
“ and the rockets red glare, the bombs bursting in air, gave proof through the night that our flag was still there…“
I was thinking this same thing😂
My word, the way some of those trees get sucked into the tornado is truly terrifying
Trees: Get uprooted by tornado
The flags: Pathetic.
The flags are literally just built different, they can’t be destroyed 😆
Doesn’t matter how strong you are… that flag ain’t coming down
That was a seriously violent tornado, proof that you don't need big tornados for strong windspeeds.
TBH, the small ones spook me out a little more than the large ones
This video has been sped up...
0:13 United State: HELP ME PLS MY FLAG BROKEN
The fact that it didn’t take the American flag gave me more hope 🫠
If you compare how it looked like at the beginning of the footage towards the end, you can see how much of the vegetation was stripped away.
This is honestly some of the best tornado footage ever captured up close.
Those other trees was like
Hold on don't let go whatever you do
Amazing those inflow winds!
After alot of other tornado vids i can say this is the nr1
Tornado: Hi , hello. Hello, hello Kansas: AHHHHHHHHHHH
I sure hope Dorothy and Toto will be safe.
Literally a Vacuum in the Sky or from the Sky.
The flag was hanging on for life
I’m shocked that the trees went, but not the vehicle to the left!
How to easily cut trees down.
Why did i watch this before my students did😂
My local news here in California said "That video must be time lapsed look at the flag". 🤣
For real? 😂😂😂
Yea if you play back .75 speed the tree doesnt go flying at 200 mph which looks so unrealistic and speed up
@@joeywalton4294 I assure you it's not fake. There are other videos that show the absolute power of this tornado.
That was truly insane!!!

That's one hell of a gamble

My god...... 😨
THIS is WHY I feared tornadoes when I was young!!
How did the white car not move and survived
something called weight, and also why did barely any rooftops and lamposts get flung up
It wasn’t hit by the tornado
@@Countryballs_Animation_Studiosit wasn’t hit by the tornado
@@derick_sanchez1951 ok
The flags Elly said "IM A SURVIVOR I NOT GON GIVE UP🤩🔥🙊"
The tornado almost looks CGI lol
Sped up video. Still amazing and terrifying at the same time
Our flag still stands
0:16 Lucky car
and the American Flag still stands!
That Is Insane How Quickly It Grew!!! 😳😳😳
That american flag held on for dear life. God bless the USA
Phineas' inventions when Candace called her mom:
For 20seconds all those threes disappeared 😂😂
American flag withstood the winds!
The windspeed inside the chaotic EF3 tornado peaked at 264 mph (425 km/h) by DOW radar.
Those flags were stronger than those trees
Yet, the flag still stands.
Fun fact: tornado clear the streets
The tornado really said : this place is filthy let's just wipe it out
*goes into extra sped mode
I want a relationship as strong as them flagpoles
Respect for the AMERICAN FLAG HANGING ON 🇺🇸 ❤
0:13 that American flag wanted to be free
The Tahoe was a paid actor. Chevy needed some sort of advertisement
That white Chevy Tahoe be vibing doe
me: did you check the noah wather jim: yeah why me: because i see a big tornado
This is too scary to look at. And how it accelerated windspeed and pull some of those trees off the ground like it was no problem. Ever underestimate Mother Nature’s fury.
I've seen this one before but got to hit that like every time....
The Red, white, and blue, was still flying through it all. As well as the other 2 flags..
Has this video been sped up? 🤔
Yep
@@ProfessorIgor proof?
@@GaminGilmore 37yrs of study. You KNOW what's sped up and isn't. There's no shortage of videos on this event. Watch them and see for yourself.
No, it's not.
@@ProfessorIgor Shut up. It's not sped up.
Reminds me of the wizard of oz
Omg 😱 I hope 🤞 that nobody got hurt or killed or injured 🤕 during the tornado 🌪
Warning ⚠️ in Kansas City in 2022. Dude
Did it really move as fast as this video showed?
If this is a genuine question, I’m worried
@@freddyrivera5521 I've only been living in Kansas for almost two years. I've never seen tornado in person & I know that the speed could look different on video.
It’s not a tornado,it is actually called whirlwind
🤓👆👆👆🖕👆👆 iT’s AcTuAlLy CaLlEd WhIrLwInD
Surprised the flag held on by a thread
so our flag was still there? oh say does that star spangled banner yet wave
@@LethalEmperor1 you yanks seem more patriotic then us canuks lol
There was a tree flying in the back round and how did the flag not come off
Damn that tornado THICK
The American flag held on tight! : )
The tiny trees in the back 💪
Holy crap..I think it sucked up toto again..It looks like half the town is somewhere over the rainbow now.
That car was sturdy
Woah that’s crazy every time
scientists should stop this..
Nice weather we’re having today
This tornado looks tame at least in comparison to its BIG BROTHER THAT ANNIHALATED ANDOVER IN 1991
See how that US flag endured the destructive winds of the tornado as it came closer? That’s is how the country shall remain strong.
stop speeding the videos up for dramatic effect.
I think they slowed it down for the viewers
@@TTundragrizzly slowed it down ?? Huh ?? It's sped up, and I am not sure why. It's a strong EF3, why speed the video up ? It was a STRONG tornado at regular speed.
@@ProfessorIgor whoosh. Right over your head.

The video was actually not sped up at all. That tornado was just very violent
Like the Wizard of Oz
The lion's my favourite
Man, that's scary😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😰😰😰
Probably just an ef3 too.
A monster.
It’s like a big eraser
Crazy how not only did it suck out ALL the dirt from the parking lot, but it took two flags and let the American flag fending for its LIFE.
THAT OUR FLAG WAS STILL THERE!!!
Where are we Toto?
And the 🇺🇲 was still there.
How many people were injured and how many people died?
No deaths, amazingly; not sure about injuries.
@@mamacatjaneI’m shocked there aren’t any deaths

She didn’t get Old Glory!
🎵 And the flag was still there 🎵 😂😂😂
Frank Baum wasn't joking
Satisfying tornado
The best part is even through it destroyed trees, the American flag was still standing. Goes to show how powerful that flag is.
The American flag was still there!
The American flag hang on
Now that is pure luck seeing that flag hold on as it passes
