Extreme meteorologist Reed Timmer captured high-resolution drone footage of a devastating tornado as it hit the ground in Andover, Kansas. While the sight is incredible in itself, the erratic nature of the storm caused a great deal of damage over the east side of the city. Luckily no lives were lost.
