School surveillance video from April 2022 tornado in Andover, KS

Surveillance cameras at Prairie Creek Elementary School in Andover, Kansas, captured an EF-3 tornado as it struck the school and a nearby YMCA on April 29, 2022. No students were in the building when the tornado struck, and no one lost their life in the Andover community. The Prairie Creek building sustained substantial damage in the storm.

    What you call, sparks flying, is probably flashes from power lines being cut, transformers blowing out, and lighting strikes. There may be some metal, on metal; sparks, but these would be tiny, in comparison. In past decades, the debris flying around the funnel, was considered to be birds; as photography, and film footage; improved, this was found to be building debris. As far as wind is concerned, it is difficult, almost impossible; to stand up in a Category 1 Hurricane. These winds have four times that amount of force; it turns fence posts, and metal fence posts, into spears, and battering rams, and signs, and sheet metal, into guillotines, that can cut a person, in half. Also, don't take shelter, in a freeway underpass; the wind turns these, into wind tunnels (see incident, on I-35); and even people, who wedged themselves, between the underside of the bridge, and the underpass sidewall, were sucked out, and badly injured, or killed.

    Notice the cafeteria empty. If there were students they would be inside not in a room with a window on the floor in the appropriate position protecting their heads. If younger. If at a Walmart larger grocery store people would go to the tornado shelter in the building which is usually the bathroom. They are thicker walls, not windows and there is a marking outside designating them as tornado shelters. If at home they would go to the basement if they have or interior room. It’s the debris more than it taking a house. Although that can happen. On the road when the siren goes off is a bit scarier. Communities not only rely on tv and radio and phones to alert people but areas have a siren like an air raid siren that go off when one was spotted within 4 miles. They come and go relatively quickly.

    I really like the interesting part at 2:45 The window actually explodes from inside. It's well known actually, since the air pressure outside becomes very low while the contained air pressure inside the building compared to the outside pressure is very high, making the building literally explode from inside. Or at least burst out it's windows. I read somewhere long ago that it's safer for the structure if windows, doors are open during tornadoes, sure the wind will break everything inside but it's safer for the structure of the building itself.

    I was so focused on the trees, I had to go back to see what everyone was talking about. Horrifying to see what can be done in just a couple of minutes to years of hard work. And these events are only going to get worse. With regard to the trees (gardener here, so that's why my focus was on the trees), I think it's time that authorities planted bands and blocks of lower growing shrubs and bushes that would better tolerate getting whipped about like that. Many shrub species would have excellent survivability in the eye of such an event. In addition, hedgerows can provide a shelterbelt against 'normal' windy weather to a height of 30 times the height of the hedge. Of course, a hedgerow would do nothing to save the school here, but at least they would have stayed in the ground fairly intact.

But compared to watching footage of hurricane Charlie (165mph winds) as it completely shredded a gas station/convenience store, and everything else, this was nothing. And unlike a tornado, Charlie didn't just blow past in a minute or so. It just kept on churning until absolutely nothing was left standing, for miles and miles. Never seen anything like it.

    I've always been very impressed with how resilient nature is. Like, this tornado can shred a building to pieces in seconds, but trees (especially small ones) are often left still standing strong, almost as if nothing happened. At 0:24 (upper left corner), you can even see a car being toppled over and sucked into the tornado, while the tornado also passes over the trees; the trees are unyielding. Nature is beautifully terrifying.

Meaning that even if there was a mega-giga funnel touching somewhere in the fields of Alabama, demolishing a farm or two, it would still be an EF2 or 3; on the other hand, if a wimpy noodle goes down in the middle of a densely populated area and causes huge property damages and casualties, it may become EF4 or 5.

    After a tornado destroyed my mobile home just from the suction, I crawled around under the debree. I found where a tie-down had hung on to the dirt for several feet. It didn't get pulled straight up. It was pulled out of the ground at an angle, then dragged where the tip of the "anchor" was still breaking up the soil. It very interesting what got destroyed and what didn't.

Either the sheer amount of force jolted the mounting the camera was on and physically unsettled the Green sensor, depriving the footage of the green value, or something hit the camera and did that. Honestly, the former is helluva lot more terrifying, because the mounts you see for most cameras, the glass ball kind we see everywhere now, are pretty solid. If it went into infrared, I've no doubt it would've turned black and white like most of these cameras do. Never before have I seen night footage in red and offred, but it is an interesting idea.

Nature is extremely strong, a lot of fragile leaves have a stronger structure then a car and yes, it’s impressive.
