Tornadoes can destroye structures and cause varying degrees of damage. Te extent of damage depends on the strength of the tornado and the type and quality of the structure. Damage can range from minor loss of roofing and siding, to the loss of the roof, to complete destruction. Some structures may be completely blown away.
