ANDOVER, Kansas — More than 1,000 buildings were affected when a strong tornado swept through Andover on Friday evening. Search and rescue operations were continuing Saturday, officials said in a noon briefing.
As the sun rose over the ravaged community, local emergency officials found a more widespread path of destruction than was estimated earlier.
“We now know that our damage path extended approximately 3 1/2 to four miles to the north of where we believed it to have ended last night,” Andover Deputy Fire Chief Mike Roosevelt said.
