Usually not. Most tornadoes are actually weak, earning ratings of EF0 or EF1. Such tornadoes cause minor to moderate damage, only destroying the weakest of structures.

Only Less than 1% or so of tornadoes could be said to destroy just about everything in their path (those rated EF4 and EF5). Even then, some structure may be spared as even the strongest tornado does not produce peak winds along its entire path.
