    1:50. The way that inflow tail was feeding into it!! Incredible video bro!!
  • As a Bonner native, I feel it was important to record this; I was driving on the Kansas river bridge when it reformed next to me and my ma. No words could describe what I felt; the door seams were shaking, the car was getting picked up, branches and tree limbs hit the car and the windows. We were lucky to survive.
  • Sorry for very late response but what’s crazy to me is this happened on my birthday and I didn’t even now you were going through this glad your okay 👍
  • I was in Wyandotte County when this happened, I would say about 15 mins from the legends, where the tornado was hovering over. I'm very grateful it didn't hit Wyandotte. Thank God it ended before it hit Wyandotte county homes.

    i was in wyandotte , in KCK by the legends. the thing sounded like constant jet or low rumbling thunder, thank God it lifted right before hitting the legends.
  • When I was about 5, we had a tornado watch or warning. My mom told me to get whatever I needed in case we had to go to the basement. I got a bag if carrots. I lived in Illinois. In 1992, my family moved to Texas and we don't have a basement. I found out what people do when the sirens go off. That's how I met my neighbors. Everyone goes out to the street to look around I live in Wichita Falls which in the past was synonymous with tirnadoes. The last one here was in 1979 and over 40 people died, most of them in cars. It would have been worse if people weren't prepared. WF had also been hit in 1958 and 1964. I don't know if we're just lucky now or it's gearing up for something really big.

    I work for the Railroad which runs through Bonner I came through by train the next day and the trees were debarked near the river. The damage down there has been untouched it’s still unreal to see the destruction to the trees to this day.
  • I didn’t realize y’all could see it so clearly out in Bonner! I was in Lawrence northeast side in the country. We saw the rain wrapped side bout two miles out.

    Thats crazy how calm it was where you were filming, i was in Lansing at the time (probably 5 miles north) and it was the craziest storm ive ever seen.
  • That feeling when you’ve dodged a tornado!! I’ve never experienced one and I never want to!
  • @donnawest1126
    Thanks for posting. I could not help but laugh at you men coming out to film and look st the tornado. If it was me I would have been running up, down the street screaming, trying to find a manhole to climb down in to. Lol.

    As a north west Johnson county citizen, that was scary.
  • @pp-oh8qd
    I was in the bonner walmart when this happened! It sounded like a train was on top of the roof!!! So scary
  • Seeing that RFD wrapping around the rotation at the end was a thing of beauty I wonder how much of that RFD they experienced after the video was over and it passed to their 4 or 5 o clock. Idont remember what the surveyd strength of this particular tornado was rated off the top of my head.

    The first half of the video was like "Damn! How big is that thing going to get"? lol
