Tornadoes cause damage through their extremely fast winds and debris carries by those winds. In the worst cases these winds are strong enough to completely blow houses away.
However, very few tornadoes actually destroy towns. Most tornadoes are short-lived, small, and weak, only causing minor to moderate damage. Even in most destructive tornadoes the worst damage is limited to a relatively small swath. The tornadoes that produce widespread catastrophic damage, such as in Tuscaloosa or Joplin, are extremely rare.
