I'm from Kansas. Wichita Eagle is originally Wichita's newspaper, and it actually shipped newspapers across the state. I was just a a kid when this happened, and seeing it on the news was mind blowing. Crazy thing is that an F-3 came through Andover in 2022 just a few days after the anniversary of this one. No lives lost in 2022, but some amazing footage.
Your absolutely right Recky. That was a car or the other thing II could see by the outline of it is a tractor trailer. Just pause it before it get sucked in and look at its shape
I definitely recommend finding some videos on the 2007 Greensburg, KS tornado which was one of the tornadoes that changed the ratings of tornadoes between the F and EF scale
Great reaction Recky! My cousin was a journalist for the Wichita Eagle for three decades. He remembers this storm clearly. The folks who lived through it are still haunted by the tornado.
I have family in Andover, this tornado was no joke, neither was the footage, and watching the 2022 tornado head for my family once again was TERRIFYING.
My dad remembers this Tornado very well. He was working in Dillons at the time, the on off of Harry and Webb I believe, and him and his coworkers were watching it till it stopped moving (which meant it was moving away or towards them) so they're boss told them to get away from the windows and ito the cooler. My dad was 19 at the time.
Recky I have one for you to watch. It is not a monster tornado, it a small F2 that my television station filmed from a helicopter in 1986. This is the first time that has been done this close. It is film footage that has been studied by scientists all over the world. I was about a half a mile from it. There was no warning. I saw it from my apartment parking lot and ran to get my camera and got a photo before it finally died out. The video title is: Fridley Minnesota Tornado 1986 - KARE 11 Helicopter Live Footage (Full Broadcast). It was fate. The helicopter was on a different story and was caught by surprise! The camera used to film this was a prototype that was brought on a whim. It’s incredible. Most of the damage was to a wooded area and a plant nursery.
Another multivortex, just seems to be the shape they take when they are most violent.I didn't know about Andover, so thank you for sharing, I agree you never get used to these violent storms. I saw the tornado this year that hit Greenfield in Iowa was just confirmed as having the fastest winds ever recorded, 300+ mph. Awful storm.
Recky, in the future, try inverting your picture in picture, so you're small and the video you're reacting to is the larger video. Even on my 55" 4k tv, the video you're reacting to is so small that I can't see the debris you're referencing at the 06:41 mark.
Hey recky, love your weather videos. I happened upon a video about this tornado by victorgoat called Wichita- Andover, Kansas 4/26/1991 F5 tornado- synched multicam, it has the tornado from almost the start until near the end. *(edit) it also shows many different viewpoints and gives brief periodic descriptions of where the tornado is, who it’s affecting and how strong it is. It’s a harrowing watch but very informative.
May 1, 1991, I was 21 and driving from Phoenix to Minneapolis. Just past Wichita, from I-35 I remember seeing large piles of former buildings and trees. I had no idea there had been a tornado, but it was obvious to me what I was seeing. Look for footage of the 2022 Andover tornado. It was far less destructive, but amazing because it clearly shows how tornado winds don't blow. They suck everything apart.
Always like to watch these tornado videos, not fond of the damage and aftermath of them. Thank you for sharing and narrating also! That was a brutal tornado!
Rocky, I just wanted you to know that I am out of town and out of state right now so I’m having to listen to and watch your post on my little tiny phone. But by doing so, I won’t be as far behind when I get back as I am right at the moment. This was quite a video for the timeframe.
There is another video of the Andover F5 as it is crossing across McConnell Air Force Base which is jaw dropping. You should consider checking that video out, it’s one of the best video showing how incredibly violent a tornado can be.
Can you imagine being in one of the houses right near that thing? My jaw would drop to the floor! 😱 There’s a documentary about Oklahoma and it’s problem with tornadoes. Again, it’s kinda long, but if you’re interested here’s the title: “Full documentary: Oklahoma: Tornado Target”
Minnesota here too. I live in Minneapolis on the border of Robbinsdale. Several years ago when we had the tornado come through Minneapolis, I was 6 blocks outside the damage zone. It was too close for comfort.
AFB = Air Force Base. In case I missed where you figured that out. There were several nuclear head missiles at that base and billions of dollars of military planes. Too close for comfort.

It´s sooooo added!
That was some amazing footage! The narration was also very impressive. Thanks Recky.
=) Thank you Don!
The Duke Evens footage....... Recky, you chose a VERY GOOD video to react to! 1991 Andover, KS.

A new Recky video is the highlight of my week! 😮❤
Ohh damn! Thats a nice thing too say! =)

like this one? ruclips.net/video/vgZyy5Illlw/видео.html
That was a monster....
yeah Becky. Really good footage too
I remember the Andover tornado. It was a bad one.
That was a brute!
The structure of this tornado actually looks pretty similar to the Greenfield Iowa tornado from a month ago

HEY RECKY YOUR AMAZING!
Thank you!!

its cool at the start, and sad at the end..
For your information, Recky, AFB is the abbreviation for Air Force Base.
Recky if it gives you chill bumps to watch it from a video can you imagine the feeling you would get from having to stare one down!!!????

I would love to watch you and Carol do some movie reactions!❤
the mconnel afb footage is from the same tornado just not at its peak
Afb is air force base
Recky is it possible to make the video big with ur camera smaller so we can see more details in the video
ohh man.. I was hoping you watched my videos for my face... =)
@@Reckyj naaa I'd rather see the details of the storm but we all love u and Carol so it's only a request or maybe an idea
Hey there Recky! Greetings from your newest subscriber here in Minneapolis, home of the Swedish American Institute & George Floyd. Love this video!
I'm in Minnesota too!
Minnesota here too. I live in Minneapolis on the border of Robbinsdale. Several years ago when we had the tornado come through Minneapolis, I was 6 blocks outside the damage zone. It was too close for comfort.
Yaaay Minnesota!
If you could check out Mike Chen he does food reviews for USA and etc. he even has some fair food reviews on Minnesota state fair and others
ohh!! I like food! =)
Should check out Canberra fire tornado 2003 it was EF3 but how it formed was never recorded this was first time ever.
added!
AFB = Air Force Base. In case I missed where you figured that out. There were several nuclear head missiles at that base and billions of dollars of military planes. Too close for comfort.
Does Sweden get hail?
Yes we do. Not big ones. But yeah =)
