| Episode Narrative | A powerful low pressure system approached Kansas on Friday April 29th allowing a sharp dryline to track generally along Interstate 135. Storms first developed across central and northeast Kansas near the warm front, but as the early evening hours continued, a couple of storms fired just east of Wichita. One of these storms produced a strong tornado across the east side of Andover, causing extensive damage. This tornado was eventually rated an EF-3. A total of 6 more tornadoes were produced by other storms across portions of central Kansas all the while, blowing dust was proving to be a major hindrance behind the frontal boundary. |
| Event Narrative | A highly visible tornado that came to be known as the Andover Tornado initially touched down in rural Sedgwick county and tracked to the east northeast into Butler county, Kansas. Two direct injuries occurred, when a manufactured home was completely destroyed, with two occupants inside. Two people were transported to local hospitals with serious injuries. Total structures affected were 116, with 22 of those being homes. The rest of the structures affected were barns, sheds, detached garages, etc. This tornado crossed the county line into Butler County. Damage were estimated at 4.5 million dollars. |
