Generally, small tornadoes do less damage than large ones, but some small tornadoes have been very destructive.
That depends on what you mean by "mini tornado" as it has no real definition. If you mean small, weak tornadoes, then yes. Even in areas prone to large tornadoes, the smaller ones will still be in the majority. However, weak tornadoes are rarely heavily covered unless they strike in places not not normally associated with tornadoes.
Usually, but not always. Large tornadoes are usually more intense than strong ones. Many EF3 and stronger tornadoes are a quarter mile wide or more, but it is unusual to see EF0 and EF1 tornadoes that large. Regardless of strength a large tornado is likely to cause more damage simply because it covers a larger area.
Tornadoes can be considered weak. Those are the ones rated EF0 or EF1. But even an EF0 tornado produces strong winds that can cause damage.
Tornadoes are more common in areas with warmer climates than those with cold ones.
It varies widely Depending on the strength, size, and path length of the tornado as well as where and what it hits. Some tornadoes cause no damage at all. Weak tornadoes usually takes tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars to repair. Some of the more damaging ones will cause damage in the millions to tens of millions of dollars. Highly destructive tornadoes have caused damage in the hundreds of millions of dollars and a handful have exceeded $1 billion with two tornadoes exceeding $2 billion.
Any tornado, even a weak one is dangerous. The tornadoes in the British Isles are generally weaker than than the more well-known ones in the U.S. rarely being stronger than F0 to F1 (T0 to T3). But even tornadoes of such low intensity can cause damage and, on occasion, kill.
i guess its the unreleased poenix the bee.Its damage is 350+(damage increase by 1% for every strength point you add).
No. Usually the larger tornadoes are the stronger ones, but not always. There have been a few small but very violent tornadoes as well as large but fairly weak ones.
Tornadoes, particularly strong ones, can cause a lot of damage which must be repaired. This is expensive, sometimes extremely. The cost of damage from the Joplin, Missouri tornado, for example, is $2.8 billion, more than 20 times the city budget. Businesses and parks can be destroyed or have to close down, which results in lost revenue. This results partly from destroyed infrastructure as tornadoes can take out power lines and, in some cases, bridges and roads.
Most tornadoes are weak, win wind in the range of 80 to 90 mph. However, the ones that cause the most serious damage typically have winds of at least 130 mph.
No. Tornadoes do not hit trailer parks more than any other place. However, a tornado that hits a trailer park is more likely to be a major news story because it is more likely to cause serious damage and fatalities. Most trailers are poorly built and can be destroyed by even a fairly weak tornado while it takes a pretty strong tornado to shred most houses. And weak tornadoes are more common than strong ones.
There are a number of factors including the strength, size, path length, forward speed, and location of the tornado. These play into how bad the damage is and how many people are killed or injured. Tornadoes vary greatly in strength. Most cause only minor to moderate damage (EF0 and EF1) but a few are strong enough to completely obliterate houses (EF4 and EF5). These tornadoes are often very large and long lives as well, so not only is damage very severe, but it is also often widespread. These tornadoes are the ones that most often kill large numbers of people whereas weak tornadoes rarely kill. A large tornado with a long damage path will affect a larger area and thus cause more damage. If a tornado is fast moving there will be less time to warn people, making it more likely that people will die. The location is also very important. Many very strong tornadoes have torn across open farmland, causing relative little damage. However, when a violent tornado hits a city, as was the case of Joplin, massive destruction will occur and multiple fatalities are almost guaranteed.
