we lived in base housing on spicer drive when this tornado hit. we lost everything but our kids. it is still hard to watch even after almost 18 years. i dont think think people really realize what tornadoes are capable of doing.

This tornado continued on to hit the town of Andover, Kansas, killing 18 people, injuring scores more, and nearly wiped the town off the face of the planet.

If you pay attention closely the tornado almost hits a $ 10 billion dollar line of B-2 Stealth Bombers .

I heard they were B-1 Lancers.

They were B-1s, seventeen of them. In addition there were over 40 Air National Guard F-16s, a squadron of KC-135 refuelers and several transient aircraft from other bases. There were over 80 aircraft parked on McConnell's flight operations areas that night.

B-2 Bombers are stationed only at Whiteman AFB in Missouri.
