It depends on the intensity of the tornado an what it hits. The very weakest tornadoes can cause damage, peeling shingles and breaking tree limbs, but rarely actually destroy anything. The most violent tornadoes can destroy almost anything. Houses and trees are swept away, cars are mangled beyond recognition, large brick buildings are leveled, roads are peeled from the ground.

Thunderstorms, themselves, do not destroy anything. Thunderstorms can bring lightning, wind, or even a tornado. These can destroy things. Weather like this can:

  • uproot trees
  • cause downed wires
  • destroy roofs
  • blow away small objects
  • bring heavy rain and flooding
  • cause mudslides from saturated ground
  • etc.

Thunderstorms in themselves cannot destroy, yet a tornado or lightening in a thunderstorm can cause damage.

No. Thunder itself does not cause damage. Lightning, however, can start fires.

In some ways yes. Some thunderstorms can produce destructive tornadoes. Lightning can also spark fires that can destroy houses.
