The tornado that damaged more than more than 1,000 buildings in south-central Kansas generated winds up to 165 mph and carved a path of destruction nearly 13 miles long
The National Weather Service said the tornado that caused extensive damage Friday mostly in the Wichita suburb of Andover and injured several people rated an EF-3 on the Enhanced Fujita scale it uses to assess tornadoes.
Four people, including two firefighters who were responding to a call in Andover, were injured during the storm but their injuries were minor.“The city of Andover will be affected by this for years,” he said. “We still have scars from 1991 . I’m so thankful this tornado was not as bad as that, but we will literally be doing this for years.”
