Good god, that gave me vibes of 91.

Andover cell is cycling back up over Augusta, KS. In addition, another tornadic supercell has developed just to its east.

Yeah that was why I brought up Katie. Same kind of narrow but extremely violent low-level motion.

I can't remember the last time the inflow was caught on video that well. Really hoping nobody was in those houses.

That looks photoshopped.

And now there's a warning for El Dorado. I guess we really are just running back 4/26/91. Hopefully nobody's under the overpass this time.

Amazing how fast that Andover storm went from looking like splitting, disorganized crap to gorgeous tornado.

It was a pretty cool looking tornado. I have lived in Kansas my whole life and never saw an actual tornado till today. I am 41 years old.

Andover storm is producing again. Confirmed tornado located over El Dorado.

Which is weird because it looks like a mess on radar.

A late April day with the main story being a destructive Andover tornado... history repeats itself it seems!
Fascinating how low precip the hook was making it extremely visible (likely due to the high base in both cases) and how far to the left it hooked as the meso cycled over

Ok, maybe that photo wasn't fake. Footage of the damage in this video.

That's just bizzare. Your eye would naturally follow what appears to be the main meso moving ENE, while the tornado heads up the back side of the storm to the NNW. Nothing about the forecast for today would have led me to expect such deviant motion. Also dangerous because I believe the warning text said "moving northeast" so if you heard that as a civilian (and if you were even passingly familiar with "typical" Plains tornadic supercell morphology and behavior) you'd be looking for the tornado to come out of the southwest, not SSE. Fortunately this was a highly visible tornado.
