Usually not, it generally takes an F4 or F5 tornado to do that kind of damage and only about 1% of tornadoes are that strong.

Most tornadoes fall into the categories F0 and F1. These tornadoes can topple some trees, break windows, and strip roof surfaces.

Where does the tornado go after it destroys everything?

Technically, a tornado does not "destroy everything". In fact, it's path is completely unpredictable and random.A tornado doesn't "go" anywhere after it "destroys everything" because it isn't really intended to destroy things. A tornado could appear in a place where there is very little nature and very barren.The tornado will simply "fade away" or stop, and will just "go away". When, exactly is unknown, since tornadoes have a wide range of times in which they will last.

What gets destroyed in a tornado?

It depends on how strong the tornado is. A weak tornado (EF0 or EF1) will generally only destroy small trees and weakly built structures such as sheds and fences. Stronger structures will only take minor to moderate damage. A strong tornado (EF2 or EF3) will destroy most trees, vehicles, and some buildings. A violent tornado (EF4 or EF5) will destroy just about everything in its path.

Do tornadoes destroy everything in their path?

In most cases, no. Most tornadoes are rated as weak. These tornadoes can cause damage, but generally only destroy weakly built structures. Even very violent tornadoes can be fickle in how they do damage. An EF5 tornado can destroy virtually any structure, and very little can withstand the full force of such a tornado. However, not all structures in that path of a tornado will experience its full destructive potential. In some cases, one structure in a tornado's path may be completely destroyed while the one next to it may only suffer minor to moderate damage. That said, a tornado of EF4 or EF5 damage can still produce a swath of complete destruction along at least part of its path.
