I grew up south of Wichita, and I sometimes had nightmares about tornadoes as a kid. Even so, I was fascinated by them. I got excited when the air turned the color of a dirty aquarium and the wind got crazy. Just after I left the state, a tornado tore through Andover, to the east of Wichita--and here it goes again. Same as it ever was.
No one was lost in the storm itself, but there were those college students in that car accident afterward... I live in Wichita, for reference. Emergency response was quick to action, and that includes from the surrounding counties as well.
This tornado footage is the reason why I would much rather live in hurricane country than tornado country and even thou there maybe tornadoes w/ a hurricane at least there is more time to make preparations for flooding, provisions, evacuations and etc.
This Andover tornado seems to have double the character of all the other films I've seen!! it's like smoke swirling around a crazy fire..and seems hell-bent on destroying as much as possible, like intentionalky..an F5 wannabe!!..My new favourite tornado! Awesome footage..amazing that everyone's ok! I wanna witness one but I'm in the boring old UK so RUclips is my only chance, maybe oneday?!
This message underscores the importance of balancing work, family, and spiritual life. It reminds us not to get so caught up in the busyness of life that we forget to pray and nurture our souls. It emphasizes the significance of staying connected to our faith, especially in uncertain times. Finally, it expresses a hope for everyone's safety and well-being, particularly those affected by the recent tornado.
It is sickening to watch all those homes get ripped apart so easily. As if they were made of cardboard derivatives. The front fell off of so many of them. The roofs were blown outside the environment. This is hardly typical, I'd like to make that clear.
I'm a structural engineer and we don't have these in Australia. We have cyclones which are the same as your hurricanes. All houses in these cyclonic regions are designed for 250 - 300km/hr winds with tie-down rods holding the roof down to the foundations. My question is are houses in these tornado regions engineered and designed against this sort of thing or are they too localised and random to not be worth the additional expense? Thanks.
Tornados are somewhat common in this region of the United States, so I would imagine they have some measure of safety, but the tornadoes are much more devastating and focused on one area than a cyclone or hurricane which is dispersed. I think the only real option is storm cellars which most of these homes have.
Yeah unfortunately the expense involved in anti tornado measures is pretty immense and and too random to predict with any certainty they are hard to know where they are going when they are already on the ground, let alone when building a house years in advance. That and given tornado wind speeds can reach up to 511 km/hr you can only do so much. I’m sure as an engineer you understand that. Best thing is to build an underground shelter to preserve life, and rebuild as catastrophic as it seems to the people affected by it.
I live in the area which this tornado hit, and lived here all my life. I've never heard of any special structurer guidelines or anything you can do to protect your house. Mostly just build a storm shelter and hope you can get to it if a tornado comes.
I am a American structural engineer. And the short answer is: not really. The design wind velocities do vary in the United States. (Up to 180 mph/290 km/h on some parts of the east coast & gulf coast as per ASCE 7.) But those are to address hurricanes. The probabilities of being struck by tornado with wind velocities in excess of the code minimum design wind velocity (equivalent to a F1) are considered too low to be a design requirement. You look at ASCE's wind velocity maps.....and (traditionally) there is virtually no recognition of the two tornado alleys at all.
I live in southern california so I have experienced my fair share of earthquakes and am not really afraid of them. The thought of living in tornado alley, though, scares the scrap out of me
It looks like a PARANORMAL phenomena…, how is this energy wind form.., coming from the ‘sky’ or from the ‘ground’?! And WHO record it? 🤔🤨🧐(Music in the background)
Dr. Reed Timmer a professional storm chaser caught this footage from a drone. This is a pretty common occurrence during storm season. Called a tornado. The energy comes from storms, ultimately the energy from the sun causes the storms. In the central plains of America you have the Gulf of Mexico and an TON of warm moist air comes up from there moving to the north. Then you have the Jet stream that pulls cold dry air from Canada and the arctic. When you have the cold air moving fast enough and at sufficient angle to the warm air you get “wind shear” that causes these storms to spin. Add in the fact that the cold air is trying to dive below the warm moist air and you get lift. A lifting spinning air forms the tornado. Little more to it but that’s the basics. Feel free to ask any questions
Who one earth captured the first clip's footage and how?! The camera work is amazing! It almost looks like it would have to be from a helicopter or drone but the camera is so incredibly steady and has high quality resolution! If a drone was used, this is an amazing demonstration of its capabilities and the piloting of the owner. If a helicopter caught the footage, everyone involved is as insane as they are skilled.
It was a drone, they probably zoomed from far away and locked it in place and set to a slow side motion, even with commercial drones like DJI Mavik, you can lock it in place or set it to way points on a self piloting mode, or even ha e it lock onto you and follow you like a dog in the sky, or right behind you at 6 or 9, or 12 etc feet.
@@whatabouttheearth Even so, the idea of a program that can keep a kitted out breadbox stable in tornadic weather is truly a marvel of computer science! Cross winds and turbulence can be dangerous for all manner of aircraft. People have trouble keeping their vehicles level and stable in stormy weather but this alleged drone didn't! Even if it was thousands of feet away, it would still be experiencing lots of gusts in varied directions and speeds! And yet it was as though it was a tripod mounted camera! The insane speed and processing power involved in the calculations, and the responsiveness and tuning of the individual motors is nothing sort of an engineering marvel!
@@Perigrene101 😂 Yeah true, but they are seeing the whole neighborhood so they were pretty far away. The storm looks weird because it was really sunny, so it apparently wasn't sky wide.
Dr Reed Timmer and his chase partner who is a Drone Racer, so the drone is super powerful so can get closer to the tornado for the shots like this Awesome views from it
this is the 2nd time Andover has been hit by a nasty tornado. the 1st one in 1991 killed 21 people. and again in 2022. so far i have yet to hear number on fatalities
Now they now what the residents of Moore, Oklahoma felt like after the May 20th, 2013 tornado as both Andover and Moore have been struck twice by significantly violent tornadoes in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.
It's pretty sad to see that these house are sold at top dollar, with families putting every penny towards house mortgages, that are over priced in which most young families losing everything they worked hard just to watch it get ripped apart like paper by these tornados. And see this footage, shows that these houses are NOT worth becoming slaves to OVER PRICED MORTGAGES , that are conned into buying a house that really don't match in quality housing building, but the yet the amount of money towards mortgages, you would think our house was built top notch.
The last tornado to touch down there was in 1991... and no one person on earth can predict where a tornado will touch down. If we didn't build houses in areas that had risks we'd have to ban building houses on probably 50% of American soil.
@@vivianpolackkutter8508 There is a swath of the country called "tornado alley" but it's pretty darn big... lol. And if you go outside of that particular area there is still risk of tornados, just not as high and there coukd be other considerations like flooding, hurricanes, land/mud slides, forest fires, etc. America is massive and varied.
I wonder why there aren't stricter building regulations in a region notorious for its destructive hurricanes. Of course if you build your house with plywood and drywall, the next tornado will shred it to pieces. The tale of the three little pigs comes to mind. In places known for seismic activity, buildings are required to be able to withstand earthquakes up to a certain limit. Why no such requirement when it comes to weather events?
1. Buildings are expensive. Buildings with expensive material are even more expensive. 2. Building regulations for tornado-prone states are pointless. Tornadoes do what they want, regardless of what material you dress your residence with. Best chance lies underground. To that point, cellars are incredibly expensive for the average person and land in some Midwest states isn't viable for such structures.
Tornados are random and extremely unpredictable. You could build your house in the middle of tornado alley and never even be close enough to see one. You can also build a house in Canada and get it torn apart by the country’s ONLY Ef-5 ever (which only caused ef-5 damage to one house). You could even be so unfortunate to get your house destroyed by one multiple times. Tornado wind speeds can reach far greater than those of a hurricane. But even the most destructive hurricanes level these over engineered homes. Tornados would do even more damage, albeit in a smaller area. Engineering a building to withstand 300 mile per hour winds just isn’t economically feasible and preserving life is more important anyways, so an underground storm cellar is the method chosen by the majority of people who live in tornado prone areas.
By the time one of those read and altered to you, it would be too late to do anything about it. Being vigilant and weather aware with a NOAA radio will likely be a better warning method
Why do people live there? This shhh is YEARLY? I WANNA know how house insurance works in the tornado Valley states? Like yall automatically covered? You rebuild the house every year? Genuinely curious...is the population down there decreasing? Like people that live there? They DONE YET?!?! WHAT!?!?!?
We live here because there's land here. Same with any other territory on this planet. Tornadoes just happen to be a downside to living here. Homeowner's insurance covers tornado damage and yes, tornadoes are included for the majority of policies. Yes, most of the time we rebuild what was lost. No, we don't have to rebuild our houses every year. Tornadoes happen whenever and wherever they want and only affect a relatively small area compared to the entirety of a state. It's all up to chance. Some people won't deal with tornado in their life time despite living in Tornado alley, while others will get hit every other year. Those affected will either rebuild or move.
@@TacitSwine750 Yep, and then there's crazy people like me hoping to move into tornado alley so I can chase and study weather properly And explore the crazy different Biomes the States have. So lucky.
Rural populations here in Kansas have been decreasing in favor of metropolitan areas like Wichita (Andover being a suburb of Wichita) Kansas City and Denver if you live in the western quarter of the state. Not because of tornadoes though, there's no jobs out in the boonies other than farming. Never seen a tornado with my own eyes although one came within 10 miles of our house when I was a kid.
I saw a version of this video that was sped up. It looked like a combination of miniature set work and CGI so I thought it was fake. Oh *$&@ was I wrong. I wish I wasn't.
Trailer parks are pretty common in the mid west. As are small weak tornadoes. “Trailers” offer very little protection against even the weakest of tornados, that’s why it seems like trailer parks are always the ones hit and that’s why the joke came about. Simply put, more tornados that spawn will have a chance to destroy a tornado than would a foundation and “well build” home.
Crazy how it formed and started the destruction full speed.
I grew up south of Wichita, and I sometimes had nightmares about tornadoes as a kid. Even so, I was fascinated by them.

Wichita has lucked out so far. Imagine if the F5 that hit Andover in the 90’s was a few miles west. Would have been much worse.
I know that feeling too!!!
Same dude we get tornados sometimes
I live in south east Wichita Kansas and the Andover tornado was coming southeast then north
Damn I've never seen a video this clear of a tornado tearing up houses. I pray there were no fatalities

Wow it was only ranked EF3? That thing was a freaking beast. Still amazing no one was killed.
Oh my, your whole life just gone with the wind! 😟
nobody directly died from the tornado, but three students died in a car crash as a result of the storm
Damn! That is one ferocious twister!
