The mayor of Wichita reported that 50 to 100 buildings had been destroyed, mostly in the Andover area.
However, no significant injuries have been reported as of yet.
Despite the scale of the destruction to houses and automobiles, local authorities maintained there had been no fatalities during a news briefing Saturday morning.
“The good news is that we haven’t discovered any more injuries than we discussed last night at a party,” Fire Captain Chad Russell told media. “We also have no reports of traffic fatalities have no pending rescues, so we don’t know of anybody stuck in a structure who is waiting patiently for us to rescue them right now.”Right now, because everything is going as smoothly as it possibly can given the circumstances,” local police chief Buck Buchanan stated.
Both men claimed that impact assessments of the type of situation were still being made, and that aircraft and drones were being used to inspect the damage. Due to downed electrical lines, both asked anybody who wished to aid to keep away from the area.
The tornado ripped through Andover, smashing buildings and sending debris flying in the air, according to extraordinary footage and photographs shared online.
