- The Tornado That Almost Hit 2 Nuclear Bombs - Andover F5 Documentary
The storm that hit on April 26, 1991, is most known for devastating the community of Andover. But the F5 twister also hit parts of Wichita, Haysville, McConnell Air Force Base, and other parts of south-central Kansas.
The National Weather Service had warned that it was setting up to be a very active day. Early that morning, severe storms started in Oklahoma, and by mid-afternoon, tornadoes were being reported from Texas to Nebraska.
Of the more than 50 tornadoes reported that day, 30 were rated an F2 or greater. But the most devastating tornado was the one that hit Andover and south-central Kansas. In south-central Kansas, 19 people died, and 298 people were injured in the storms that day. In Andover, 13 people died at the Golden Spur Mobile Home Park, four died in the Greenwich Heights subdivision of southeast Wichita, one died in Cowley County, and another in Elk County. Two people died in tornadoes in Oklahoma.
The storm hit the Andover area around 6:40 p.m. but had first been reported on the ground nearly an hour earlier near Clearwater. When it finally lifted after being on the ground for 46 miles, it was near El Dorado.
Haysville was hit around 6:20 p.m. when the tornado was a strong F2, and then it strengthened. The tornado was still an F3 when it struck McConnell Air Force Base four minutes later. It destroyed 102 base housing units and nine major facilities, including the base hospital. In all, 16 people were injured on base. The tornado narrowly missed 10 B1-B bombers that were lined up. Two of them had nuclear warheads on them.
The storm continued to gain strength as it hit the Greenwich Heights subdivision in the area near Pawnee and Webb, leveling several well-built homes and strengthening to an F4 as it continued toward Andover. At its largest, it was three-quarters of a mile wide.
From there, the tornado continued to track to the northeast. It began to move into Andover at 6:43 p.m. and intensified to an F5. The town suffered the biggest loss of life that night.

Happy Mothers Day to all of the mom's out there!
If you could take just a small second of your time to like the video, we'd really appreciate it, thanks! 👍
Already did!❤
cool vid
Good stuff keep it up 👍
thank you
I was caught in this tornado not once, but twice! I lived and went to middle school in school in Haysville. When the sirens went off, my dad panicked and put us in the car and headed east. We ended up going to pick up my stepmom on the northeast side of town. I ended up in the basement of a McDonald’s with a huge gash on my face from a massive hailstone that required 5 stitches to close… Our home in Haysville was completely unaffected by the storm. The car was totaled. Panicked people make poor decisions. Have a plan ready, and practice it! Especially with kids and pets. Stay safe out there ❤
Glad you survived! Excellent advice, have a plan and ensure the entire family knows what to do.
I been though two of them and the one thing that sticks in my mind is just before they hit it gets so quiet out not even a bird singing,,,spooky,,,then the most wild wind in the world ,with every thing going though the air ,just crazy to witness
By far the best weather channel on RUclips
I'm so grateful to all those storm chasers out there that put their lives on the line. What they do to help the advancement of storm predictions and actually assisting in furthering atmospheric research with these weather systems is the best way for us all. Great job indeed.
You should cover the recent the 2024 ef4 Barnsdall Oklahoma tornado
The guy in the ford pickup was smart
😢 absolutely amazing power in wind and water 💧 🌪⛈️
dam that is some awesome power 😮
so sad for all those who were there 😢
I know how destructive a tornado can be and loss of life & destroy families. I don't know why but I'm fascinated by them, each of them has its unique shape. I'm from the south of Quebec and we have 6-7 per year but never of this magnitude. Your documentary has beautiful video shots
I've seen a tornado in Indiana when i was a 4 year old. We didn't have a basement but our neighbors did. A tornado was coming down our street as we ran to the neighbors house. Dad had my hand but my feet weren't on the ground. Dad said the tornado was almost on us and it was trying to suck me up. That was wild. I'll never forget it. There was damage but nothing like this footage. I couldn't imagine what these poor folk saw or experienced. It just happens so quick...
I remember seeing a news report of the golden spur mobile home, and parts of it were just gone, like all that was left was a concrete slab
mobile homes can be easily thrown by even low level tornadoes, an EF2 is strong enough to pick up and demolish a trailer or mobile home. they are legitimately one of the worst places to shelter in during a tornado
@@daver00lzd00d Surely building codes should be better in tornado areas to stop these places being wiped off the map
wow so amazing to see
This tornado was so unique and crazy strong like that footage at the start is nuts. The damage this monster done is crazy. This is a great video btw, keep it up! ❤
It's frightening to see just how calm a certain place or area is knowing that it is just minutes away from total destruction.
What an absolutely crazy tornado, nothing like i have ever heard of before wow
Thank you. I liked the video
Very well put together video, better than any other i have found on RUclips
Only in the USA would there be planes carrying nuclear warheads smack in the middle of Tornado Alley in the Spring 🤦
44:11 that was a lucky pass.😳😳
I was 10 and living in mulvane. This day was crazy. It wiped out my moms work.
Employer:" That's no excuse to be late". We have to let you go.
@@parislanderson lol she sat at work deciding to shelter or to flee south to safety and she decided based on where the storm was to flee and saw the tornado in the distance right as it entered McConnell. Scary day but yeah you're right about employers the Amazon warehouse in St. Louis and the candle factory in Mayfield should have to pay out the wazoo for their actions.
26:28 There's a tornado coming right at them and it sounds like there's drama, unrelated to the tornado, happening in the background.
wow
Can you do the 2011 Rainsville-Sylvania tornado?
They way you pronounce Andover is crazy😂😂 cover the phil campbell hackleberg EF5
I'm so glad someone else noticed.
Computer generated voice over
I kept thinking "Andover, Andover, send correct pronunciation right over..."
@@katieskarlette 🤣🤣🤣
They mispronounced Andover but correctly pronounced Towanda. They both should be easy to pronounce.
This could have been the worst disaster in modern history if one of those nuclear bombs went off
May you cover the recent ef4 tornado that hit Barnsdall and Bartlesville Oklahoma?
I was watching it on radar and storm chaser feeds, and it was, pretty wild from how it formed to how the cell got absorbed by the squall line which ended the tornado.
That was a ridiculous storm. I think we'll have to wait until around fall for something like that just because it's still so new.
@@puppypoet understood. Thank you
November 15 1987 Jacksonville Texas tornado
👍👍👍👍
This thing was a killer storm. Andover F5 was a storm from another planet for all I care. Then the town got hit again by that EF3 not long ago.
The bombs would have to activated to explode . Tornados can't activate it
i think that was my car flying in the air...🤔
😂😂😂
Better go get it!
Shawtup
Or the bomb
It could be anyone’s car
AND-OVER, not AN-DOVER 😒
Our apologies, we will pass this on to our voice-over artist 👍
if you havent, you should cover the parkersburg, iowa 2008 f5
Hey I was wondering if you could cover the 1990 Plainfield F5
would be nice to do the manschester f4 from 2003
Has this ever happened before where a tornado has hit a military base?
Tinker AFB has been hit multiple times (most notably twice in 1948 and again in 1999) and Redstone Arsenal near Huntsville, AL was hit by an F3 on 4/3/74. IIRC the 2011 Good Friday EF4 in St. Louis hit the National Guard base there as well. There are probably others but those are the first that come to mind.
This tornado is the reason why McConnell AFB now evacuates its aircraft whenever they get a decent enough heads up of any severe weather.
@@racheljuby3720 Wow i didn't know that. Interesting bit of info right there thank you!
46:05 this the video I thought was banned because people deemed overpasses as a safe place to be during a tornado. Wrong!!
I love your content, one small issue. I feel that you have too much of a light hearted voice like in an ad advertising a new movie coming out in fall. Just from listening to other tornado documentaries I personally find it more appealing when the narrator has more of a lower toned voice. Now your voice is perfect but don't make it as happy and light hearted. You're talking about a killer, a monster, a life destroyer and I am in no way trying to tell you how to do your job but this just feels too light hearted to be talking about a killer. Please don't take this the wrong way it's just a bit of constructive criticism.
At 31:23, it looks like it has a face
I had heard this storm was bad, but oh my god, imagine if it hit those nuclear bombs!!!
My question is.. why would these ridiculously insane man made nation killers be strapped to a jet and not stored safely away underground??
I would like to think they'd have safeties on nuclear bombs. Then again, Biden's in office. In that creepy low voice " nah man. We don't need safeties on nukes."
You should cover the Tupelo tornado of 2014
24:04 it’s getting closer so it looks bigger maybe ?
the house is gonna destroy
Could have cut out half an hour of nothing but sirens
Sheesh
April 26th 1991 April 26th 2024 bad weather days
fun times lol
The way you pronounce Andover makes me cringe. 🙄
Ok follow along...say.. and over, not an dover.
Make your own video if it’s gonna bother you that much. Next.
@@theonlybingledingle I have made my own , point is the voiceover is obviously AI and cant pronounce it correctly.
Why were nuclear BOMBS strapped to fighter jets in the first place? I would think they should always be stored underground or away from Usa citizens..
There’s logic behind your response and I agree however these weapons have several safe guards before they can detonate - it’s possible that the department of defense had these on standby for some reason. Russia was not our friends in the nineties
they were strapped to bombers not fighter jets. they were strapped to bombers because that's what bombers are for lol
The sadistic part of me kind of wonders what the damage would of been like if one of those bombs went off
