The Waco, Texas tornado affected people in a number of ways. 114 people were killed by the tornado, meaning that many lost friends and family. In addition, 597 people were injured. Hundreds saw their homes and businesses destroyed and more suffered lesser degrees of property damage. Of the survivors many undoubtedly suffered psychological effects, as being in a building as it is struck by a tornado can be a truly terrifying experience.
The Yazoo City tornado of 2010 affected two states: Louisiana and Mississippi.
No. A tornado is a localized event, usually not affecting more than a town or two. A tornado may lead to people leaving a town, or sometimes a tornado-prone region, but not usually a country. For example, many people left the small town of Greensburg, Kansas after most of it was destroyed by a tornado in 2007, but they all stayed in the United States.
On average, tornadoes in Canada are responsible for causing 10 fatalities per year. However, this number can vary widely from year to year depending on the severity and frequency of tornado events.
The most significant effect on a natural habitat would be the destruction of trees. Even a tornado that is not particularly intense can snap and uproot many trees. The area affected is usually not very large, but it can take decades to fully recover.
