 Argonia, KS April 26, 1991. This tornado is the beginning of a  long lived tornadic supercell and will go on to be the storm cell that produced the "Wichita-Andover AFB Tornado". The  tornado formed near Argonia, Kansas and  moved its way northeast to Sedgwick County where the "Wichita-Andover Tornado" created such devastation. It continued on it's path on to the northeast. Rated an F3 and ending up producing an F5 tornado this was one monster of a storm with multiple destructive tornadoes from it.
