Tornado rips through Kansas; 3 University of Oklahoma meteorology students killed in crash while traveling back from storm chasing
"We now know that our damage path extended approximately 3 1/2 to 4 miles to the north of where we believed it to have ended last night," Andover Deputy Fire Chief Mike Roosevelt said at a briefing.
Andover Fire Chief Chad Russell said earlier that some neighborhood homes"were completely blown away." Field crews from the National Weather Service worked Saturday to determine the extent and strength of the twister, said meteorologist Kevin Darmofal at the Wichita office. "The lights started flickering and eventually went out, and within a minute from that the whole house started shaking and it was so loud. We started feeling water hitting our faces, and there was just dust everywhere. It lasted for what felt like a minute that it was right above us," Aldo Delgado said.
