ANDOVER, Kansas — First responders were working on a secondary search of the area northeast of Andover on Saturday morning, after tornado touched down in the south-central Kansas area on Friday night, leaving damage in its wake, but few injuries, officials said.
Andover fire Chief Chad Russell said during a Saturday news briefing that crews have already finished a secondary search of homes in Andover. There are homes knocked completely off their foundations and entire neighborhoods wiped out, but no serious injuries, he said.
“It’s a miracle,” Russell said from the Dillons parking lot in Andover, which had dozens of emergency vehicles from surrounding counties. “I’m just praying it holds out. We still have searching to do.”
