Photos by Eagle photographer Travis Heying offer the first look at the damage from a tornado that ripped through an Andover housing development and caused considerable damage to the nearby YMCA.
“We are uncertain about the extent of the damage, emergency crews are responding,” Andover police wrote on Facebook around 9:30 p.m.
The tornado tore through the area just after 8 p.m. It’s unclear if there have been any injuries.
First responders have blocked off the area while they work to assist people affected.
Heying reported more than a dozen homes being destroyed in a housing development just southwest of Highway 400 and Andover Road.
