Even this Richfield Street sign sustained damage caused by the tornado that ripped through Wichita and Andover on Saturday.
Troubled students check on relatives
By Nedra Beth Randolph
Although Kevin Grace was not in Wichita when tornadoes struck the area Friday, the destruction still hit close to home.
Kansan staff writer
Grace, Wichita freshman, said a friend of his family was killed while driving a car into Andover, a suburb of Wichita, when the tornadoes hit.
Grace's friend was one of at least 29 people who were killed when about 30 tornadoes ripped through southeast Kansas on Friday evening.
Grace said that he had been in contact with friends and family from the area since the storm but that he had had trouble getting through to others because of downed telephone lines.
He said that he had cousins who lived a quarter-mile outside of Andover and that they had seen the documents that struck the town of 4,300.
Grace said that although he had no immediate plans to travel to Wichita, he would like to be there to help those who were affected most by the twisters.
Lance Tanner, Wichita freshman,
said that his friend's house was
separate from the school.
"I heard it's just not there anymore," he said.
'I'm glad they're OK. They're helping clean up the town now and feed those whose homes were destroyed.'

Elizabeth Miller, KU alumna, said she saw a tornado for the first time Friday. She was at home in Wichita with her husband, Lindy Eakin, associate vice chancellor of administration at KU, when the storm struck.
"The whole thing seemed to go in slow motion," she said. "You could see the debris flying as the tornado passed, and it felt like it was right on to us."
She said she opened some windows and collected pets and precious possessions before going to safety in the house, with her husband and neighbors.
The house was not damaged, she said, but the power was off for about three hours after the storm, and the houses have been on the blink ever since.
Mounted Wichita police patrol the area devastated by a tornado Friday. A 9 p.m. curfew was imposed to protect homeowners' property.
