If you mean the tornado that struck McConnel Air Force bas on April 26, 1991, that tornado first form south of the town of Clearwater, Kansas and moved northeast to the Air Force base.
After striking the base the tornado continued traveling northeast, intensifying as it did so, eventually moving through Andover at peak intensity as an F5 tornado.
