A video of a tornado tearing through Andover, Kansas, gained 1.2 million views on Twitter as of Saturday afternoon after it was posted by meteorologist Reed Timmer the previous day. In another tweet, Timmer, who snapped multiple close-range footage, said that the tornado strengthened very quickly as it «went from 10 to 300 mph in seconds.» Meanwhile, storm chaser Aaron Jayjack said Saturday on Twitter that the tornado was narrow despite being strong. «Surveying the Andover damage path right now. Found the slabbed homes. Powerful but narrow tornado. Thank goodness it was such a narrow tornado. Looked like the damage path was about a block wide,» he tweeted. AccuWeather posted another video on social media containing different clips of the tornado spinning through Andover and Wichita.
