    That was from my back porch. It went east past us, then turned north and went along side us. Probably within 3 miles at the closest to our house. We watched it form and grow from just a small rope tornado to a pretty wide funnel. I guess they said F3 was the size.
    Right before this one built up, we watched a funnel cloud swirling above the house and within 5 minutes of that, we watched the one in the picture form. It was quite a night for watching storms! Did a fair bit of damage through Andover, but thankfully no casualties.

    Austin Great picture. I also like watching storms form but want the to stop before the tornado possibilities
    We have been lucky here west of Wichita, it seems the bad storms are usually to the east of us

      Austin it sure is amazing what they can do but yet look so graceful. I’m always out when storms come through to get video and photos if a tornado should form. We have an elevated risk for us starting now through the night.

          Nice photo. There is a lot of good videos from that storm. Made for a busy night though.

              Austin I have been texting family to make sure they were OK. Like you it was too close for comfort. One has a construction project that the tornado just skirted. Im glad everyone is OK.

                Austin we are glad to hear that no one died. Property can be replaced although it takes time. Great looking photo, they always look interesting until they are in your backyard. We used to live in the panhandle of TX and had our share of them.

                  Austin Glad everything is alright there. That reminds me of when I was young, I used to go with my dad and watch tornadoes.

                    I can’t confirm but I HEARD the tornado was scared to come near my neighborhoood. No, seriously thank god no one was seriously hurt, and while some buildings were hit, nothing that can’t be fixed!
