1029PM CDT: By the grace of deity or luck, this large tornado will miss downtown Wichita. However, this storm will hit the eastern Wichita suburbs and approach Andover KS, which was infamously hit by an F5 in 1991. The tornado is just northeast of Oaklawn in this wind velocity image, moving northeast. The tornado is located in the couplet where the bright green and bright pink are next to each other. Still a very life threatening situation.

Is it a tornado that destroys Republicans' houses and says Democrats told it to do it, and then goes to destroy Democrats' houses and says Republicans told it to do it?
