Usually, but not always. A large tornado can certainly damage a large area. Larger tornadoes also tend to be stronger as well, but this is not always the case.

Do hurricanes or tornadoes cause more damage in the US each year?
hurricanes cause more damage they can also cause earthquakes and tsunamis
Do tornadoes do more damage then tsunamis?
Generally not. Tsunamis cause destruction along much larger areas than tornadoes do. However tornadoes are significantly more common
Do tornadoes cause more damage than any other type of storm?
No. While tornadoes may cause the most severe damage of any type of storm, hurricanes cause a greater quantity of damage because they affect a much larger area.
Does tornadoes cause more damage than a tsunami?
Generally not. A tsunami can usually cause more damage because it affects a bigger area. However, a tornado can often cause worse damage in a small area.
Which causes more damage a hurricane or tornado?
Both hurricanes and tornadoes vary in the amount of damage they cause. Both can occur without causing any damage or can caused utter devastation. Overall, damage from tornadoes tends to be more severe,but hurricanes generally cause a greater quantity of damage because they cover much larger areas.
How much money do tornadoes cause in damage per year?
£400 million and sometimes more depending on the damage done.
Can tornadoes be made up of two or more smaller tornadoes?
Sort of. Some tornadoes have smaller vorticies inside them that cause swaths of more severe damage within the main damage path. However, a tornado such as this is still considered one tornado.
How much money in damage do tornadoes cause each year?
$400 million somettimes more
What does more damage tornadoes or earthquakes?
Overall, highly destructive earthquakes cause more damage than the worst tornadoes. Outside of the most destrcutive events, however, they must bes assessed on an individual scale. In both tornadoes and earthquakes, some are highly destructive while others cause minimal damage. Earthquakes do have more potential to cause damage as they cover larger areas while tornadoes cause very localized damage.It depends on the size of them. I would think possibly a tornado?an earthquake cause after the main earthquake hits which last for few seconds up to minutes property would be sometimes less damage but the aftershocks causes property to be more damage like houses being destroy more or buildings collapsed and they can also cause tsunamis and volcanoes and the damage of property would be high up in the billionsan tornado cause less damage cause even though their winds are high they can really still cause less damage like destroying houses completely and destroy buildings but not collapsed them or level them off their foundation and tornadoes dont do other secondary hazards even though after the first tornado to form a second tornado may appeared but still even if that happens tornadoes can still cause less damage and tornadoes go a straight path so they wont be able to destroy the whole city or county tornadoes can have moved more than a 100 miles but their straight path cause less damage
How can a tornado endanger property of people?
Tornadoes produce very powerful winds, which can exert a great amount of force. Relatively weak tornadoes can cause superficial damage to most structures, and can indirectly cause more severe damage by knocking down trees. The winds of stronger tornadoes can cause more serious damage, ripping away roofs and walls, can during the pieces into high-speed projectiles that can cause even more damage. In the most violent tornadoes even sturdy structures cannot withstand the wind. Cars, trailers, and even houses can become projectiles.
In the US is a tornado or lighting strike more dangerous?
Tornadoes kill more people and cause more damage than lighting.
Why are hurricanes considered more damaging than tornadoes when tornadoes have stronger winds?
They aren't. Tornadoes are more violent than hurricanes. The winds of both hurricanes and tornadoes are driven by the pressure at the center of the storm being lower than that of the surroundings. Tornadoes produce a similar pressure drop to hurricanes, but over a much sorter distance. This means the pressure gradient is steeper, and the air is subjected to a greater force.
